BOO!
OK really how did all this weird stuff start and how did it come to bear on Halloween anyway? Here is the answer – its because it is associated with the DEVIL and we dress up to make the dead think we are dead as well. November 1st is regarded as a time to honor Saints and Martyrs and the evening before is considered to be All Hallows’ Eve. So from the far corners of our minds and the darkness that resides there, comes the creepy and crawly things like spiders, rats and bats.
