Scary Halloween Sayings
Halloween is one of the most famous festivals in the United States. There are various factors associated with this festival that make it famous - its debatable origin, scary costumes, makeup, candy and some famous sayings that highlight that scary factor of this cultural occasion. Here's a look at some of those words that are enough to send chills through the body.
Trivia: Halloween is short for "Hallows' Evening or Hallows Eve" which was the evening before the All Hallows' Day (Holy or Sacred Day). To ensure the conversion of all pagans, the Christian Church decided that All Saints' Day or Hallowmas (celebrated on November 1st) and All Souls' Day (celebrated on November 2nd) should overshadow or absorb all pagan holidays coming on or around 31st October.
History says that Halloween has a Celtic origin, however, today it is celebrated largely as a secular cultural festival where people from all religions and races come together as one. The most common Halloween activities include throwing and attending costume parties of friends and relatives, wearing the most bizarre costumes and my personal favorite trick-or-treating. Halloween has long been connected to scary stories and myths, hence one can always find scary Halloween sayings painted across every street in your block.
People also say that most of these sayings are inspired from all the various activities that people do on this day. October 31st is a day to get and make someone scared. So with no more waiting, have a look at the various Halloween quotes and sayings.
