History of the Halloween Costume
The word Halloween itself is based in the Catholic church. How the Halloween costume evolved is based more in the Celtic traditions. In Celtic Ireland back in the 5th century BC, summer actually ending on October 31st. this became a holiday called Samhain which celebrated the Celtic New Year.
The story that is thought to be the origin of the Halloween costume goes like this. On that day called Samhain, the disembodied spirits of the dead would return to find living bodies to possess for the next year. They thought that this was their only hope for the after life. As you can imagine the living didn’t want to be possessed. So on October 31st the living would make their homes undesirable by extinguishing fires to make them cold. Then these villagers would dress up in ghoulish costumes; make all kinds of noise and commotion to ward off being possessed by the spirits of the past year. This was the beginning of the Halloween costume.
