HALLOWEEN COSTUMES AND COSTUME IDEAS

Halloween costumes are dress up costumes worn on or around Halloween, a celebration which annually falls on October 31. The Halloween costume itself has a fairly short chronicle of events. Wearing costumes of course has long been associated with other holidays, not only Halloween. Halloween costumes originally accentuated the pagan and gothic nature of the Halloween festival, but by the 1930s Halloween costumes based on characters from film, literature, and radio were also popular. Halloween was initially promoted as a children's celebration and as a means of holding back the uncontrolled and disparaging conduct of adolescents. But after the mid 20th century all of that had changed and Halloween costumes were no longer just directed at children, but increasingly became worn by adults.
