I grew up in the 60's and Halloween was celebrated with the fancy boxed very thin plastic masks of super heroes, cartoon characters or strange animal faces and very thin cloth representations of costumes. A celebration of goods and paper products mass produced from Tiawan?
There was only one Halloween party in my life in a basement bobbing for apples with colored crepe paper of orange and black and maybe a scary story? It wasn't really a well thought out child hood gathering and I don't even remember who those people were. They may have moved after that?
The schools only mentioned harvest time and pumpkins, corn, the indians and pilgims and maybe half a second of what devils night and Halloween used to be in history with people anually being given charity at door steps that some how became expressed as going from door to door for candy, apples and getting to see all the weird neighbors you otherwise never see or meet.
How was Halloween celebrated in your childhood that perhaps led to being involved in haunts and haunting in later life.
