Halloween has become a rising star on the holiday scene in the Czech Republic, and Prague is ready to host some fantastic parties during this weekend. The best part is, you don’t have to drain your student budget to get into the Halloween spirit! With a little creativity, you can conjure up a hauntingly awesome costume without breaking the bank. And if midterm preparations have you feeling drained, consider a cozy night in – order some food and gather your friends for a horror movie marathon.
Discovering Halloween Traditions
The origins of Halloween costume traditions reach back to the Celtic roots of this spooky holiday. Centuries ago, it was believed that on Halloween night, the souls of the departed would return to the world of the living. To avoid being recognized by lurking demons and restless spirits, people would don masks when venturing out after dark. And to keep these otherworldly visitors from invading their homes, folks would leave bowls of food outside as a diversion.
Where to Find Your Halloween Costume in Prague?
If you’re on the hunt for an easy and affordable way to dress up for Halloween, you’re in luck! Check out the options available at Ptakovyny Ipak or any of the Flying Tiger stores. If you’d rather not invest in an entirely new outfit for the occasion, dive into the multitude of YouTube makeup tutorials to create a spooky look. You can find everything you need at the NYX Cosmetics store, DM, Sephora or the Halloween Store.
Frightening Film Marathon
For those among you who are up to your ears in midterm prep, a low-key Halloween celebration might be just the ticket. Grab some delectable Halloween snacks from Marks & Spencer’s food section and get ready for a night of spine-tingling movies. From classics like “The Shining” and “Pet Sematary” to recent releases like “The Dead Don’t Die,” these films are sure to add a spooky twist to your casual get-together.
Whether you’re gearing up for a night of epic revelry or opting for a more relaxed Halloween, Prague has something for every Erasmus student. So, get your costumes ready, stock up on candy, and prepare for a Halloween you won’t soon forget! 🎃👻
