Halloween: The Real History, Practice and Belief.

By Anthony Jordan

THE BEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN ABOUT HALLOWEEN HISTORY IS THIS.
Children and adults alike dress up and march through the streets as celebrities, demons, animals, witches, and other characters every year. While everyone else carves pumpkins and plays practical pranks, the more daring ones watch horror films and go on ghost tours. The calendar includes parades, fireworks displays, cornfield mazes, haunted houses, and-most importantly-a plethora of little candy. In Trick or Treat, a thorough history of this sometimes misunderstood phenomenon is given. While giving an intriguing overview of how Halloween has spread around the globe, it begs the question of how festivals as dissimilar as the Celtic Samhain, the British Guy Fawkes Day, and the Catholic Holy Days of All Saints and All Souls could have united to create the modern Halloween. The holiday was renewed in the United States, where dressing up and the "trick-or-treating" custom evolved new customs with influence from related but distinct festivities in Central America, notably Mexico's Day of the Dead to celebrate Halloween.
