People mainly dress up as ghosts, witches, or other scary things for Halloween. It is often referred to as ‘the scariest time of the year’.

This covers the three days – October 31 (All-Hallows Eve or Hallowe'en), November 1 (All Saints) and November 2 (All Souls).

For Christians it is the eve of All Saints' Day, which begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide.

All Hallows' is a Christianized holiday and originated in Ireland. it also has pagan roots.

The pagan holiday Samhain, which the All Saints holy day replaced, was also known as the Day of the Dead.

This is a happy holiday (even though it celebrates death). It is the day that some believed the souls of dead people come back to Earth.

In fact, it was believed that on that day, the souls of the dead returned to their homes, so people dressed in costumes and lit bonfires to ward off spirits.

Early costumes were usually scary. They were often supernatural beings or from folklore. In the 1930s costumes of characters from literature, radio, or movies became popular. Scary costumes are still popular.
