I Heart Halloween and So Should You

Halloween. It's the most wonderful time of the year. Well, for some anyway. You can be anyone or anything you want to be. You can play pranks and get away with it (as long as no one gets hurt, that is) and you can deliver all the scares you like (again, as long as no one gets hurt).

I heart Halloween. Don't you? 

The History of Halloween 

Celebrated on October 31st, Halloween is a time where children go house to house to "Trick or Treat", children and adults alike dress in costumes both scary and whimsical and the name of the game is a good scare.

Halloween originated as Samhain. This pagan holiday was celebrated among the Celts. Halloween continues to be popular in the United Kingdom and Ireland and developed into massive popularity in the States beginning in the 1900s.

My Other "Halloweenie" Lenses 

featured lens Halloween at Walt Disney World

I've been to Walt Disney World at both Christmastime and Halloween. I've also been for July 4th and Star Wars Weekends. But perhaps my favorite time of year to visit the Mouse House is Halloween. The World has a number of Halloweenie (I'm making it a...

featured lens Disney Villains

Recently, on a trip to Walt Disney World around Halloween, I was unsurprised to see that the line to get a photo with Maleficent, the malicious witch from Sleeping Beauty, was filled with eager adults. I wasn't surprised because, well, I was one of t...

featured lens The Haunted Mansion

Remember the first time you rode The Haunted Mansion? I was a kid, so naturally, I covered my eyes (read: wimp). This lens is dedicated to what many consider to be Walt Disney's pet Imagineering project. Note: This lens has nothing to do with the Eddi...

featured lens Elphaba Costume from Wicked the Musical

Loathing. Unadultrated loathing. For your face, your voice, your clothing. Now some might say that Elphaba's costume is simply the same as The Wicked Witch of the West from the MGM Musical. And while there are similarities, there are also stark differ...

featured lens Bride Of Frankenstein

Perhaps you remember her hair best. Or maybe you it's that over-the-top scream you think of whenever you hear about Frank's better half. Whatever it is you do think about when she pops into your mind, I thought she deserved her own page here on Squid...

 

featured lens Elizabeth Swann Costume - Pirates of the Caribbean

If you have seen any of the Pirates of the Caribbean films, no doubt, you have marveled at Elizabeth Swann's many amazing costumes. This lens is an introduction to each of the costumes so that you might either be able to construct them yourself or fi...

featured lens Mary Poppins Costumes for Halloween

She's practically perfect in every way so it makes sense that there'd be those of us out there who'd want to be Mary Poppins for at least one day. Luckily, buycostumes has released an exclusive English Nanny costume that makes a perfect Mary Poppins c...

featured lens 300 the Movie Costumes for Halloween

Seriously, who doesn't want to be King Leonidas or Queen Gorgo for Halloween? The movie 300 was easily one of the most successful films of 2007 and it's no mystery why people are trying to snap up cool costumes that resemble those in the movie. Well,...

featured lens Superheroine Costumes for Superheroines!

All the world is waiting for you. And, yeah, the power you possess. Or don't. Being a superheroine isn't for the weak of heart, but with the right costume and attitude, you can pull it off (the character, not the costume!). Whether you want to be the...
