Spectacular vs. Spooktacular

“Spectacular” is a very positive (good) word in English. It is related to the word “spectacle” which usually means something impressive or good to see.

Here are some synonyms for “spectacular” in everyday usage:

Now… about “Spooktacular.”

“Spooky” in English means scary, eerie, weird, frightening. We use this word a lot in association with the holiday of Halloween.

For example: A spooky ghost; a spooky costume; a spooky house; a spooky decoration.

English speakers love to do “word play.” That means making one word sound like another word. Or, combining two words into one. (Like, “chillax” which is “chill” and “relax.”)

So, something really great or awesome that is on or around Halloween is “spooktacular.”

We hope you have a very spooktacular Halloween next week!
