Halloween is a time when people can dress up in spooky costumes, watch scary movies, and get free candy from their neighbors. However, due to COVID-19 this year, it seems like those plans are not likely to happen. Since COVID-19 has caused numerous inconveniences for many this year, people seem to be less interested in celebrating Halloween.
Mira Loma Today has conducted a survey asking high school students what their plans for Halloween were before COVID-19 and their plans for Halloween this year after COVID-19 occurred. Additionally, we have asked them whether COVID-19 was the primary influence for the change of plans in this year’s Halloween.
This differed from students’ plans this year.
COVID clearly seemed to be the reason for change
Halloween plans for 2020 have changed drastically; many have forgone the traditional parties and festivities to celebrate within the comfort of their homes. This year, many more people have decided to watch movies, as opposed to previous years, and the amount of people who went to or hosted parties significantly decreased. This contrast can especially be linked to the influences of COVID-19, which have forced many mindful individuals to sacrifice their traditional Halloween celebrations in order to prevent the spread.
