It is believed that the idea to wear costumes on Halloween might have come from the ancient Celts who wore costumes to ward away evil. This was carried on in Europe and eventually became a holiday celebration.

The Celtics created Halloween costumes.
They believed that wearing the costumes on October 31that would make all the demons, monsters, and last year's tormented dead escaped and come to earth. They thought that by using the monsters' own scariness against them they would run back to their world in fright.
