European Halloween Masquerades
20 September 2007Superstitions prevail over wisdom of humanity the world over and worshipping the ancestors, believed to be present as spirits is common in every country. In European countries, this notion that is deeply rooted and safeguarding from evil spirits that haunt and possess innocent persons is considered to be the root-cause of Halloween celebrations, wearing halloween masks .
The Celts in the medieval age believed that by dancing around a bone-fire throughout the night of October 31st every year, which is the end of their bright and sunny summer season and entering into gloomy and dark winter ahead starting from 1st November, they are surely to cast out those devilish spirits. To escape from the clutches of these evil spirits, they disguised themselves so that the spirits can not identify them as human beings and wore as costumes animal skins and heads as masques to terrify the ghosts away. From then on, the habit of wearing Halloween masks designed awfully like ghosts, demons and beasts of wildest dreams by adults and children alike has grown up manifold.
The children have their own fancy for various types of masks as playthings and plan well ahead of the Halloween celebrations as how to disguise themselves.
Disguising in different get-ups to play evil characters of fantasy on stage and in the celluloid media obliged adults also to go in for Halloween masks in assorted shapes, sizes and colors. Added to this is the more realistic and engrossed with day-to-day life characters of television, where the artists perform wearing not only horror but also vampire masks and clown mask to amused the masses.
