According to the Bible, it is a pagan tradition, bible chronology sets the month of October as the time when God brought the deluge to destroy all wicked people. Right after that in Latin America, people celebrate the remembrance of all dead ones, dressing up as monsters, skeletons, ghosts. It is a scary time, I don't understand how people gets delighted by this horrific celebrations, I just can't imagine Jesus Christ celebrating all demonic inspirations and dressing up like a monster. Spooky!!

I am under the impression that we celebrate Halloween and dress up so that way the lost souls can come out, and not be recognized as everyone is dressed up. NOW, I don't think we had princesses, and spidermans when we first started celebrating. Now i was told this by my friends, and they like to blow smoke up my butt, but it sounded real.

An old pagan tradition that Americans kept.
As for my family we celebrate because my mother is Wiccan.
