Currently those animal skins that they used at that time are now replaced by costumes of different characters which are preferred by people, these are generally used to be able to ask for sweets

Currently things continue to be given and resided, but the opposite of a long time ago is that now what is offered are sweets to children in their costumes who go from store to store asking for their offerings.

One of the most important differences is that before this party had a very particular name and it is "Samhain" which means end of summer and is closely related to spirits.
