The wearing of costumes was originally designed to keep you safe from spirits and demons, if they thought you were supernatural too they wouldnt attack you.

instead of carving your Jack-O-Lantern out of a pumpkin, try using a watermelon...they are easier to carve, and you can eat the "gut" as is, where as using a pumpkin, you have to cook the "guts"...

Halloween's roots can be traced back to Celtic culture in Ireland. According to their "Druid" religion, November 1st was New Years' on their calendar. The celebration would begin on October 31st ,and last into the following day. The spirits of all who died in the prior year, would rise up and roam the earth on this night.
This is an evil night when spirits roamed the streets and villages. Lord Samhain, the lord of Darkness, would arrive in search of the spirits to take them to the underworld.

Wow, Ireland's surely got some serious traditions and history....
Samhainophobia is an intense fear of Halloween.
BOOOO!
