Dead or Night of the Dead, is a modern celebration
result of the syncretism originated by the Christianization of the end of summer festival of Celtic origin called Samain. It is celebrated internationally on the night of October 31, especially in the Anglo-sphere, such as Canada, the United States, Ireland or the United Kingdom, and, to a lesser extent, in other places such as Spain and Latin America. Since Halloween coincides with the apple harvest season each year, candy apples (known as caramel apples outside of North America), and sweet apples are common during the holidays. Nowadays, children dress up for the occasion and stroll through the streets asking for sweets from door to door. After knocking on the door the children pronounce the phrase trick or treat. If the adults give them candy, money or any other type of reward, it is interpreted that they have accepted the deal. If on the contrary they refuse, the boys will spend a small joke, being the most common to throw eggs or foam of shaving against the door.
