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.

Animated Haunted Girl! 

I know. She looks like the girl from "The Ring," right? I saw this recently in action at one of the nearby Spirit Halloween stores and it is incredibly wicked in person.

I enjoy Halloween: preparing the candy packets for the kids, seeing all the costumes, eating leftovers. :) Nice lens.
