Where did it come from?
Halloween is a secular holiday combining vestiges of traditional harvest festival celebrations with customs more peculiar to the occasion such as costume wearing,
trick-or-treating, pranksterism, and decorative imagery based on the changing of the seasons, death, and supernatural phenomena. It takes place on October 31.
Though it was regarded up until the last few decades of the 20th century as primarily a children's holiday, in more recent years activities such as costume parties, themed decorations, and even trick-or-treating have grown increasingly popular
with adults as well, making Halloween a celebration for all ages.
