From communion with the dead to pumpkins and pranks, 00:00:00
Halloween is a patchwork holiday stitched together with cultural, religious, and occult traditions that span centuries. 00:00:11
It all began with the Celts, a people whose culture had spread across Europe more than 2,000 years ago. 00:00:20
October 31st was the day they celebrated the end of the harvest season in a festival called Samhain. 00:00:28
That night also marked the Celtic New Year and was considered a time between years. 00:00:35
A magical time when the ghost of the dead walked the earth. 00:00:41
It was the time when the veil between death and life was supposed to be at its thinnest. 00:00:45
On Samhain, the villagers gathered and lit huge bonfires to drive the dead back to the 00:00:54
spirit world and keep them away from the living. 00:01:03
But as the Catholic Church's influence grew in Europe, it frowned on the pagan rituals 00:01:07
like Samhain. 00:01:12
In the 7th century, the Vatican began to merge it with a church-sanctioned holiday. 00:01:14
So November 1st was designated All Saints Day to honor martyrs and the deceased faithful. 00:01:19
Both of these holidays had to do with the afterlife and about survival after death. 00:01:26
It was a calculated move on the part of the church to bring more people into the fold. 00:01:34
All Saints Day was known then as Hallowmas. 00:01:41
Hallow means holy or saintly, so the translation is roughly Mass of the Saints. 00:01:45
The night before, October 31st, was All Hallows Eve. 00:01:51
which gradually morphed into Halloween. 00:01:56
The holiday came to America with the wave of Irish immigrants 00:02:00
during the potato famine of the 1840s. 00:02:03
They brought several of their holiday customs with them, 00:02:07
including bobbing for apples and playing tricks on neighbors, 00:02:10
like removing gates from the front of houses. 00:02:15
The young pranksters wore masks so they wouldn't be recognized. 00:02:18
But over the years, the tradition of harmless tricks grew into outright vandalism. 00:02:23
Back in the 1930s, it really became a dangerous holiday. 00:02:28
I mean, there was such hooliganism and vandalism. 00:02:35
Trick-or-treating was originally an extortion deal. 00:02:41
Give us candy or we'll trash your house. 00:02:46
Storekeepers and neighbors began giving treats, or bribes, 00:02:50
to stop the tricks, and children were encouraged 00:02:54
to travel door-to-door for treats 00:02:56
as an alternative to troublemaking. 00:02:58
By the late 30s, trick-or-treat became the holiday greeting. 00:03:01
