NEW DELHI: Happy Halloween! Google on Wednesday celebrates Halloween, an annual fun-filled celebration observed in several countries on the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows, with an animated doodle.

The Happy Halloween doodle features a haunted mansion numbered 13 with scary and bizarre creatures around it. A crow is seen hopping from one end to another over the roof of the haunted house. And to make the doodle more frightening, creepy music is played in the background.

The Happy Halloween doodle is interactive. When a user clicks the first door of the mansion a blue one-eyed octopus opens the door which also stands for the letter G of the Google logo.

The second door is opened by a pair of eyes coloured in red and yellow thus forming the letter 'O' of the logo.

A click on the third door and a ghost in a veil pops up who stands for the fourth letter 'G' of the logo.

Another strange creature is seen at the window pane behind the iron rods. This creature can be interpreted as the letter 'L'.

The last door of the doodle displays a creature with a scary smile and forms the letter 'E'.

A skeleton is seen flying in the air and jumps into action when clicked on it. An alley cat also jumps out of the dustbin and runs through the doodle screaming.

Across the doodle a number of jack-o'-lanterns, a popular Halloween symbol, lie on the doorsteps of the house for more impact.

On Halloween, celebrations include costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, trick-or-treating, and other haunted attractions.

Halloween has a long history and is believed to have pagan roots. Traditional activities such as offering prayers to Almighty, fasting and enjoying feasts are also practiced by some.
