Realistic Horror Masks

History Of Halloween

Today the modern day of Hallow or Halloween grew its roots from the orgins of an ancient Celtic festival called the Samhain. This festival was a celebration at the end of season of harvest in Gaelic culture, and many times is wrongly regarded as the Celtic New year. Tradtionally, this festival was a time used by the pagans of acient times to take stocks of supplies and slaughter innocent livestock for their winter stores. However when the pagans did this they did not partake in the wearing of realistic horror masks. These pagans knew what they were doing and if they wore realistic horror masks during these so called slaughters they would have ruined their realistic horror masks.
The Gaels of ancient times believed that on Oct. 31, the boundary that seperates the alive and the deceased dissolved, and that the dead actually become very dangerous for the living causing problems such as damaging crops and even causing sickness. The dead is where the realistic horror masks concept was derived from cause everyone imagines the undead as scary creatures. The festivals would often involve huge bonfires, where livestock bones were thrown. Many times realistic horror masks and other costumes were worn to try and mimic the evil spirits of the dead.
