- La Dia De Los Muertos is NOT the Mexican version of Halloween.
- It's not scary or any type of spooky, no ghosts or witches or anything like that.
- This day is not sad, it is a happy holiday to remember our loved ones who have passed away.
- This day is about love, not fear.
- Day of the Dead is not a “strange” ritual. It is very similar to going to a grave and leaving flowers or stuffed animals, lighting a candle to remember the deceased.

Dia de los Muertos contrast to Halloween because The Day of the Dead celebrates the dead, rather than being afraid of the dead. Halloween displays grim and glory decorations. Dia de los Muertos have decorations showing respect to loved ones.

People of all ages have their faces artfully painted to resemble skulls, and, mimicking the calavera Catrina, they don suits and fancy dresses. Many revelers wear shells or other noisemakers to amp up the excitement—and also possibly to rouse the dead and keep them close during the fun.
