- This fun animated song video ‘La chanson des squelettes ‘ by BabelZone will make you smile. It has skeletons in so I would say that it is suited to Halloween. :o) It is very catchy and it has the lyrics pop up on the screen so you can sing along!
Italian Halloween Words

On the Enchanted Learning website they have a list of Halloween words in English. This would be useful for any of you who are learning English as a second language but it can also be used by us native English speakers as we can use the words on the list as an excuse to go searching through our dictionary for the word meanings in our target language.
Hope you all enjoy learning the Halloween words in the foreign language that you are studying.
