Halloween is celebrated in many different ways – through
decorations, trick or treating, spooky stories and of course, donning costumes.
In Western culture, it has become tradition to transform into a scary or
popular character for Halloween.
According to history, the practice of wearing
Halloween costumes originated from an ancient Celtic festival. It is believed
that during this day, supernatural beings and the souls of the dead roam around
the land.
The practice of going house-to-house in costume started
around the 16th century. People used to impersonate the souls of the
dead and receive gifts and blessings on their behalf. The costumed visitors
also believe that they will be brought protection and good fortune when they
participate in the festival. The tradition differs from region to region but people
typically follow the same beliefs.
In our modern culture, Halloween is not complete without costumes.
From kids who are trick or treating, to adults who are partying the night away,
costumes are a must! In the past, Halloween costumes were mostly scary –
monsters, ghouls and other spooky creatures were the usual look that people
did. Nowadays, iconic characters from pop culture are also acceptable costumes.
People usually channel their favorite movie or TV characters, copying not only
the fashion but also the makeup.
