Ever wondered why we dress up, carve pumpkins, and hand out candy like it’s a competitive sport? Artie Ficial and Ina Telligens take a spirited dive into the origins of Halloween - from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (where ghosts were totally a thing) to All Hallows’ Eve to the costumed, candy-fueled celebration we know today.
We’ll explore how centuries of myth, migration, and cultural mash-ups gave us trick-or-treating, spooky symbols like witches and black cats, and a holiday that somehow delights both kids and grown-ups.
History, mystery, and just the right amount of creepy. Happy haunting.
