Scary Halloween costumes have their roots in the holiday's ancient origins. Back then, it was believed that the spirits of the dead and of supernatural entities roamed the world during the Halloween season. Dressing up in scary costumes allowed people to blend in, or would allow mortals to scare away malicious spirits who had come to plague families or homesteads. Today, scary costumes for both kids and adults help people examine their fears about the more macabre aspects of life and society.
