How did Halloween start?

Halloween started 2,000 years ago in, which is now Ireland.

They celebrated New Years on Halloween Called “Samhain” it is named after the lord of the dead.

These people sacrificed their crops by burning them in a big bonfire & dressed up in animal fur.

Trick or treat!

A cartoon was made in 1951 (peanut cartoon strip).
