The trees are changing color, the days are getting shorter, the nights are getting darker and you can already see the first turnip ghosts glowing in the dark. There is only one explanation for this: Halloween is just around the corner. If you haven’t had time to think about how you want to celebrate All Saints’ Day – or haven’t planned to celebrate it at all – these 8 Halloween costume ideas will help you change that.
A centuries-old tradition
Halloween may not be a German custom – although that is now disputed – but that doesn’t mean it’s not an ancient celebration. Historians disagree about the origins of the festival. Some claim that it originated in Catholic Ireland, which adopted it from its Celtic ancestors and exported it to the USA. Others trace it back to Latin American traditions and the Caribbean Santeria – where it is known as Dia de los Muertos. The Pixar film Coco perfectly captures this custom with a touch of magic.
In any case, Halloween has now become a celebration all over the world, and we don’t have to be any less festive here. At least not if you wear these costumes:
