Let me give you some information about the origin of Halloween. All Hallows' Eve on October 31 was celebrated originally by the Celts. It was the feast of their Sun God called Samhain, who was imprisoned by the darkness on this particular day. That means the end of the light and warm season and the beginning of the cold, dark and wet winter time. At the same night all the souls who died the previous year wandered from earth into the kingdom of death. Therefore on the night of 31st October the gap between the dead and alive is the most narrow and permeable. In order to protect people, being possessed by the wandering spirits, the Celtic priests used different methods to keep away the bodiless souls: they made big fires, burned a stake, took on various scary masks, frightening costumes etc. Many of the old traditions survived and you can find lot of them in modern days Halloween partys.
So, now take a look at my lovely and scary image collection. They are only a tiny bit creepy.
