Yes! It is not a millennial trend! Halloween celebrations started more than 2000 years ago. Celtic traditions gave life to All Saints’ eve, later on, called Halloween, the moment when spirits were thought to walk the Earth on their way to the afterlife.
However, Halloween traditions changed throughout the years, from pagan animal skins to creepy masks and modern costumes.
