This ranking is proof enough of that. I tell you, I'm still a little bit in a post-Halloween funk. It's the perfect time for horror fans to indulge in movie marathons, late-night horror game sessions, and going all out in decorating. Modern Halloween has its roots in several areas, but comes mainly from Gaelic festival Samhain, meaning "summer's end", marking the end of Harvest season and signifying a weakening gap between the worlds of the living and of the dead. Also established were modern day ubiquities such as apple bobbing, dressing up in disguise and going door-to-door performing for food (known as mumming or guising then), and by the 19th century, lanterns were made out of things like turnips to ward off evil spirits, eventually becoming the jack-o-lanterns we see today. It switched over to pumpkins due to North American immigrants preferring their softness and larger shape. Association with horror was nearly always present due to the spirits association, but it was the advent of huge Gothic hits like Dracula and Frankenstein that really made it as prevalent as it is today. Halloween is celebrated worldwide and each culture has their own unique take on it. One notable variation includes Mexico's "Da de los Muertos", or Day of the Dead, which takes place over three days, paralleling the Christian tradition of Allhallowtide. Celebrating Day of the Dead traditionally involves setting up altars for deceased loved ones, and sugar skulls are a common icon used to represent the holiday. I think it's pretty cool that Halloween hasn't really changed too much since its inception. Sure, maybe the original messages get muddled in translation, but the intent remains the same. Halloween has always held a special place in my heart, and I like that it means different things as you get older, giving you a reason to always celebrate the holiday, no matter how you see fit. --- If the suspense doesn't kill you, something else will! http://tinyurl.com/zqwzc9a - https://i.imgtc.com/3qwvxhc.jpg <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:912122910] in Snake Rank...
