The Evolution Of Halloween In Pop Culture
Whether you enjoy dressing up or visiting haunted houses, most of us agree there's joy to find in Halloween.
Halloween has evolved from its origins as a somber, supernatural holiday into one of the most dynamic celebrations in modern culture.
Rooted in ancient Celtic traditions of Samhain, where people believed spirits roamed the Earth on the night of October 31st because it was the night before the new year, the holiday’s core theme blurred the line between the realms of the living and the dead.
Although this tradition persists today, Halloween has changed over time with pop culture playing a crucial role in shaping how we celebrate it today.
The transformation from Gothic horror to festivities and trick-or-treating is an intriguing journey of adaptation and commercialization.
