To some, Halloween is considered the “best” holiday and is often considered the scariest. Many people dress up, have Halloween parties, and hand out candy. It originated 2,000 years ago from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, and although celebrated, it is not a National holiday.
Every year at DMS close to Halloween they start selling “Boo grams”. Boo Grams are a slip of paper, where people can gift popcorn to other people or themselves. Popcorn is going to start selling on the 30th of October. There are 7 flavors, Carmel, Vanilla, White cheddar, Slasa-n-Cheddar, Kettle Corn, Dill Pickle, and a vegan option by asking for Simple or Butter. Each one costs $2.
