Halloween's origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day was the end of summer and harvesting days, and the beginning of the gloomy, chilly winter. Also, it was sometimes a season of fatalities for people. It is also believed that the night before the New Year, according to the Celts, the line between the living and the dead fuzzed out.

To stave off ghosts, people lit bonfires and donned costumes. Pope Gregory III established All Saints Day on November 1 in the seventh century; soon after, Samhain customs were absorbed into All Saints Day. Before Halloween, the previous evening was referred to as All Hallows Eve.

In recent years, Halloween has become a popular holiday on college campuses. Though it has been around for centuries, its popularity has grown in recent decades because it is a secular holiday. For many people, Halloween is a fun opportunity to dress up in costumes and attend parties. However, the holiday has a long and complex history that is often misunderstood.

In the United States, Halloween has become one of the most popular holidays, celebrated by people of all ages.
