Halloween has also become a really popular topic for movies and some TV shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural and American Horror Story. Furthermore, some authors like to write about this interesting subject. One of the best examples is Edgar Allan Poe. His poem The Raven is a Halloween classic for most people. Some people choose to read horror novels during this time of the year like those by Stephen King or Dean Koontz. There are some songs that people like to listen to especially on this holiday, too. It is obvious that Michael Jackson's Thriller is one of them. Also, we can add Pet Cemetery by the Ramones to the list. http://greyzombie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/halloween-pumpk in-carving-1.jpg Although a conservative part of society rejects these traditions and doesn’t celebrate Halloween, it is one of the most important holidays in Mexico. The celebrations last 3 days with the name "Holiday of The Dead." Halloween is becoming popular in Turkey, as well. Almost every night club or cafe throws themed parties at the end of October.
