Halloween Costume




Halloween costumes are outfits worn on October 31 st, the day of Halloween . Halloween is a modern day holiday (spun off of the Gaelic / Druid ic/ Pagan holiday of Samhain (in Christian times, the eve of All Saints Day). Originally a day to remember the dead by celebrating the darker and more gruesome side of human existence, celebrants would dress as their deceased relatives. It has now become a very commercialized celebration. Because of this, popular costumes are often mass manufactured and sold in specialty stores.

Popular Monster s of legend or fiction are regular themes for Halloween costumes, as are pop culture figures like presidents, film or television characters.
