Frightfully and spooky Halloween breaks

According to the best evidence available, Halloween originated in the early Middle Ages as a Catholic vigil observed on the eve of All Saints Day, which is celebrated on November 1. It has become commonplace to trace its roots even further back in time to a pagan festival of ancient Ireland known as Samhain. The prehistoric observance is said to have marked the end of summer and the onset of winter and was celebrated with feasting, bonfires, sacrificial offerings and a homage to the dead. 

The tradition of dressing up for Halloween most likely came from the medieval practices of "mumming" and "going-a-souling" which historically took place on All Saints Day.  Mumming meant dressing up in costumes, singing, dancing and play-acting.
