Download or read book Trick or Treat written by Lisa Morton and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2013-09-15 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Halloween has spread around the world, yet its associations with death and the supernatural as well as its inevitable commercialization have made it one of our most puzzling holidays. How did it become what it is today? Trick or Treat is the first book both to examine the origins and history of Halloween and to explore in depth its current global popularity. Festivals like the Celtic Samhain and Catholic All Souls’ Day have blended to produce the modern Halloween, which has been reborn with new customs in America—but there are also related but independent holidays, especially Mexico’s Day of the Dead. Lisa Morton lifts the cobwebs off everything from the explosion in popularity of haunted attractions to the impact of events like the global economic recession, as well as the effect Halloween has had on popular culture through literary works, films, and television series. Taking us on a journey from the spectacular to the macabre, this book is a treat for anyone who wants to peep behind the mask to see the real past and present of this ever more popular holiday.
Download or read book Halloween written by Anthony Jordan and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-10-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE BEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN ABOUT HALLOWEEN HISTORY IS THIS. Children and adults alike dress up and march through the streets as celebrities, demons, animals, witches, and other characters every year. While everyone else carves pumpkins and plays practical pranks, the more daring ones watch horror films and go on ghost tours. The calendar includes parades, fireworks displays, cornfield mazes, haunted houses, and-most importantly-a plethora of little candy. In Trick or Treat, a thorough history of this sometimes misunderstood phenomenon is given. While giving an intriguing overview of how Halloween has spread around the globe, it begs the question of how festivals as dissimilar as the Celtic Samhain, the British Guy Fawkes Day, and the Catholic Holy Days of All Saints and All Souls could have united to create the modern Halloween. The holiday was renewed in the United States, where dressing up and the "trick-or-treating" custom evolved new customs with influence from related but distinct festivities in Central America, notably Mexico's Day of the Dead to celebrate Halloween.
