Can you guess what famous festival coming up soon does the following poem talk about??

Dans la maison hantée,

Une sorcière,

Dans la maison hantée,

Un monstre vert.

Dans la maison hantée,

Pas de lumière,

Dans la maison hantée,

Je veux ma mère!

Dans la maison hantée,

Une citrouille,

Dans la maison hantée,

J'ai la trouille!

Dans la maison hantée,

Une chauve-souris.

Dans la maison hantée,

Un monstre gris.

Dans la maison hantée,

Un squelette bouge,

Dans la maison hantée,

Un monstre rouge.

Dans la maison hantée,

Je ne vois rien,

Dans la maison hantée,

C’est bien!
