Halloween Masks and Costumes
Wearing scary masks at Halloween dates back to old Celtic traditions in the British Isles and is part of the fun of this favorite holiday. The purpose of this custom was to scare away or placate the evil spirits, associated with the transition from summer to winter and the increasingly longer nights. The Celtic people believed that Halloween was a time where the boundary between the living and the dead was diminished – allowing the spirits of the dead to haunt the living.
The tradition of wearing masks has also been a long established practice in the theater, where it allowed the actors to change their emotions, or identities and assume a different character. In this respect, it has been a long established fact that wearing masks, and assuming a different personality can be a whole lot of fun! Nothing changes a person’s overall appearance and disguises their true identity, more than a mask.
Besides a mask being very scary, it can also be extremely funny. Funny masks often depict famous persons, such as politicians, celebrities, or other famous and well known persons and presents them as a caricature – overemphasizing their unique facial characteristics.
