the celtics were the ones who created halloween. they didnt do this on purpose it was actually just a festival of the end of summer called samahain. but there was a speacial day that the celts would dress up as a scary monster to scare away the bad spirits. so it used to be evil but as the years grew on it became something fun for children!
