Traditional activities include trick-or-treating, bonfires, costume parties, visiting haunted houses and carving jack-0-lanterns. The history of Halloween has evolved. The activity is popular in the United States, the UK, Ireland and Canada. Halloween has its origins in the Gaelic culture. They believed that on October 31st the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped and the deceased would come back to life and cause havoc such as sickness or damaged crops. Masks and costumes were worn in attempt to mimic the evil spirits or appease them.
Treat-or-treating spread from the western United States eastward, stalled by sugar rationing that began in April 1942 during the World War and did not end until June 1947. Early national attention was given in October 1947 issues of the children’s magazines Jack and Jill and Children’s Activities, and by Halloween episodes of the network radio programs. The custom of treat-or-treating had become firmly established in popular culture by 1952. The UNICEF first conducted a national campaign for children to raise funds for the charity while treat-or-treating, In Ohio, Iowa and Massachusetts the night is often referred to as Beggars Night.
