Halloween is quickly becoming the most popular holiday in America. Next to Christmas, more money is spent on Halloween decorations than on any other holiday. The holiday has taken on a non-religious tone and is now being celebrated longer and by a greater number of people. It is growing in prominence overseas as well. Most people are familiar with the symbols of Halloween-- Ghosts, Jack O'lanterns, Witches, Bats, Skeletons and Black Cats-- but few know about Halloween's past. Why does it exist? What is the origin of trick-or-treating? Why does it fall on October 31st. Through these pages you will experience Halloween celebrations of the past, and take a look at Halloween today. For collectors this is a treasure trove of memorabilia, the largest ever published. It is illustrated in beautiful color and includes prices for reference.
