Halloween has been celebrated with great enthusiasm in the United States. This is hardly surprising considering Halloween celebrations include activities like trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and having costume parties, carving jack-o-lanterns, lighting bonfires and telling ghost stories, visiting haunted houses and watching horror movies.

Trick-or-treating originated from a European custom of distributing ´soul cakes´ amongst the poor on All Saints Day in return for prayers. On the other hand, the custom of wearing costumes dates back to the Celtic origins of the holiday. Halloween is celebrated at the beginning of winter when the harvest season is over. It was believed that ghosts came to the earthly world on this day. In order to fool these ghosts into believing that they were one of them, people wore ghost costumes when they ventured out of their homes. They even placed food at the doors of their house so that the ghosts will be satisfied and not enter their homes.

What started as a custom to keep ghosts away had now become a merry celebration. Today, people young and old celebrate this holiday by dressing up in a variety of costumes. Earlier, costumes were created to fool ghosts. Today, there is no such significance attached to the costumes. Costumes today are pop culture icons, usually from films and TV shows.
