Halloween Costumes History

Halloween (also spelled Hallowe'en) is a holiday celebrated on October 31.

It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints’ Day. It is largely a secular celebration, but some have expressed strong feelings about perceived religious overtones.[1][2][3] Irish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America during Ireland's Great Famine of 1846.[4]

The day is often associated with orange and black, and is strongly associated with symbols like the jack-o'-lantern. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting haunted attractions, carving jack-o'-lanterns, pranking people, reading scary stories, and watching horror movies.

Halloween costumes are worn on 31th October of every year in the Halloween holiday originating from the Celtic pagan holiday of Samhain (in Christian time, the eve of all saints day). The wearing of costumes and masks style goes back to the Celtic tradition which tried to copy the spirits. The popular of Halloween costumes started in USA around 1900s. The 1st mass produced Halloween costumes appeared in the store in 1930s.

Halloween costumes are different from costumes in other festival because they will be designed to imitate supernatural and scary beings. Traditional costumes will make as vampires, ghosts, skeletons, witches and devils but in more recent years, there were as science fiction-inspired characters as aliens, superheroes and pop culture figures like presidents, athletes, celebrities or film, television, cartoon character. Moreover, the very modern design like sexy and revealing costumes is popular to build the Halloween atmostphere joyful, delight and more happiness in this occassion.
