Traditional activities include trick-or-treating, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses" and carving jack-o-lanterns. Marking the end of harvest and the beginning of the new year

HALLOWEEN TRADITIONS Initial reports of mass-produced costumes date to as early as the 1930s. They really took off with the rise of trick-or-treating. For costumes some people wore masks and other cloaks to avoid being recognized by evil spirits. Jack-o-lanterns tradition began with folks believing that carving scary faces onto turnips would frighten away evil spirits.
