The tradition of dressing up in costume for Halloween has both European and Celtic roots. Hundreds of years ago, food supplies ran short in the winter. The dark days of winter left many people frightened and hungry. Men and women were afraid to leave their houses, for fear of encountering ghosts. To avoid being recognized by the ghosts, people wore masks or other deceptive costumes. European immigrants brought this tradition to the United States and this tradition has evolved into a celebration for families, children and communities in general. In the late 1800s, there was a move in America to mold Halloween into a holiday more about community and neighborly get-togethers, than about ghosts, pranks, and witchcraft.
More recently, dressing up for halloween has become a trend in US and many other parts of the world to celebrate not just one night of Halloween, but an entire week of Halloween!
