Originated as the Celtic New Year festival of Samhain, Halloween is the day when
it is believed that it is the day when the evil spirits such as vampires, ghosts
and witches come to Earth and terrify people. Celtic people used to paint their
faces and wear terrifying costumes to scare off these evil spirits. The tradition
has continued to the day in the form of 'trick-or-treat' when children and even
adults dress up as witches and ghosts, pirates and other costumes and go in groups
from home to home. They get candies and apples as treat and those who dare not to
entertain them, gets the blunt end of the stick and pranks and tricks are played
on them. It's the day of the devil and the time to unleash the monster within.
A corrupted version of Romans' 'All Hallows Eve' during which they used to honor
their saints, 'Halloween' is one of the most popular and beloved festivals of the
world today, especially among children. Here, we are presenting you with the history
