 Halloween (or Halloween; English
Halloween, All Hallows' Eve or All
Saints' Eve) is a modern
international holiday dating back to
the traditions of the ancient Celts
of Ireland and Scotland, whose
history began on the territory of
modern Great Britain and Northern
Ireland. It is celebrated every year
on October 31, on the eve of All
Saints' Day.
 Halloween is traditionally celebrated in
Western Europe and America, although it
is not an official holiday. Since the end
of the 20th century, during the process of
globalization, the fashion for Halloween
paraphernalia has also arisen in most
countries of Eastern Europe and the CIS.
 Halloween is celebrated
informally in some other
countries with close
cultural ties to the US or
the UK, such as Japan,
South Korea, Singapore,
Australia and New
Zealand, and a number
of island countries in
Oceania.
 Dressing in carnival
costumes is a relatively
recent element of the
holiday. For the first time
as a full-fledged custom, it
was recorded at the
beginning of the 20th
century and goes back to
the American traditions of
costume parties.
 Halloween costumes themselves
have evolved significantly over the
past century. Initially, the costumes
were images of ugly skinny faces of
people. It looked far from festive
and quite frightening. But by the
beginning of 2000, the costumes
were becoming more and more vivid
and the holiday itself turned into a
show.
