Summon the spooky ghost residing in you at these Halloween parties in Lucknow!

Here's a sentence we never thought we'd say, but, people, the devil is summoning us this Halloween and we must pay heed!

Jokes aside, while there are tons of theories that go back to proving the origins of this festival, as far as the Celts and their harvest Gaelic festival of Samhain, Halloween is considered to be a time of the year that welcomes winter and where people reminisce the departed. During Samhain, people would don costumes to ward off ghosts, and light bonfires, while the Christianised version saw saints going from door to door (which is why it is sometimes called All Saints Day).

Whatever the story of origin maybe, today Halloween is all about trick-or-treats, wobbling pumpkins, narration of scary stories, playing pranks and, the most adored, Halloween costume parties! And, so, we're here with a list of 7 epic Halloween parties in Lucknow that are happening now and how!
