In Earlier days, bonfires were lit and animals passed around them to make certain of good stocks for the winter ahead.
Halloween is also the night when the spirits of ancestors may be able to contact the living and pass on messages.
This is the origin of Halloween Festivities such as Fireside parties .
Animal Masks were traditional and part of earlier riotous parties
Some countries carry on Halloween Festivities and these are usually great fun.
Theme Parks have opened specially for Halloween parties and these vary wildly in the Bloodthirsty parties that they offer.
These vary from Disneys not-so-scary Ghost procession to Universals horrific offerings which offer the ability to be scared by all kinds of monsters from films and the past.
