How is Halloween perceived or celebrated in your home country compared to what you've seen in Western media (like movies and TV shows)?

How do you feel about the commercial side of Halloween—the stores filled with costumes, candy, and decorations?

Does your culture have a similar holiday that honors ancestors, celebrates the harvest, or deals with spirits?

What are your personal feelings about the "spooky" or "horror" aspect of Halloween? Why do you think some people enjoy being scared?

Beyond just the spooky elements, what other activities or feelings do you associate with the autumn/Halloween season (e.g., pumpkin carving, apple picking, cozy weather)?

If you were to host a Halloween party for adults, what kind of food, decorations, and activities would you include?

If you had an unlimited budget and time, what would your perfect Halloween costume be, and why would you choose that character or idea?

Tell me about a memorable Halloween costume you have either worn yourself or seen on someone else. What made it so special?
