Halloween: A History |
 |
NEW YORK—Earlier this week, Dr. Fauci told CNN’s State of the Union that he thinks Halloween 2021 is a go. “I think that, particularly if you're vaccinated, you can get out there and enjoy it,” he said, referring to trick-or-treating for kids, and Halloween parties for adults. Last year, Halloween celebrations were muted, with fewer parties and fewer trick-or-treaters all around—and while there’s nothing wrong with a cozy, spooky Halloween at home celebrated with a scary movie marathon, there’s something special about knowing we can get back out there this year and spread the Halloween joy.
