A Brief History:
Legend:  A boundary between the living and the dead become evolved from a holiday honoring saints and spun the web of a holiday with spooky myths and legends. Through it’s evolution came all sorts of costumes, decorating and stories celebrating the Halloween season, from mythical beings: witches, ghosts, zombies, werewolves, bats and way more creepy beings, celebrating the dark side of living in the dead.

Evolution:  Halloween is short for “All Hallow’s Eve”, or the eve of All Saints Day on November 1^st.The tradition originated when the Celtic festival of Samhain came about. People lit bonfires and wore costumes to ward off spirits and ghosts. Thereafter, All Saints Day originated with the same traditions of Samhain, and the evening before was known as All Hallows Eve. Much later it was renamed Halloween. It would not be surprising if the whole black cat Halloween deal was started out of Pope Gregory IV’s declaration of war on cats.

Holiday Origination: The ninth century.

More Recently: All sorts of celebrations, parties, pumpkins carved out as Jack-O-Lanterns, trick-or-treat with candy after dressing up in a costume going door-to-door in children’s neighborhoods.

The Heart of Fall Activities: The holiday is generally one of the most prominent holidays that celebrate a fall theme completely, as Thanksgiving, although definitely fall in theme is so close to the proximity of Black Friday that it connects into the winter season more existantly. 

A Few Facts:
I am sharing a few facts, and more, some trivia, some not trivial. . .

• No spirits in the material world have ever been really proven, except a glimmer of one and alcohol. But there are hints of them.
  
• It is very hard to believe the mixture of the worlds of All Saints Day and Halloween so close in proximity.
• More. . .

The Present:
In most recent times there have been the same patterns in and out of the two worlds of both Halloween and All Saints Day. Although trick or treat seems like one of the newer traditions, its origins are not distinctly identifiable, but traced to ancient Celtic festivals in medieval times, but the candy industry sure does a great job at milking it without the Milk Duds…

The Future:
The future looks pretty bright, not bleak! There were talks about making the holiday fall on a same day scenario, but the day to pick would be argumentative. Could you imagine it not being the last day of October?
