At The Oscura Collective, we celebrate this bewitching season with our Cursed & Creepin’ Collection, designed to capture the essence of Halloween in style.

What Actually is Halloween and Why Do We Celebrate It?

Halloween, celebrated on October 31st, has its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, where people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. This was believed to be a time when the boundary between the living and the dead was blurred, allowing spirits to roam the earth. As centuries passed, Halloween evolved, blending with traditions from various cultures. Today, it’s a day filled with trick-or-treating, pumpkin carving, and spooky decorations, offering a chance for everyone—from kids to adults—to celebrate the thrill of the unknown and indulge in playful scares.

Why is Halloween on October 31?

The choice of October 31st can be traced back to the ancient Celts, who marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter with the festival of Samhain. Over time, this date became associated with various cultural traditions, ultimately solidifying Halloween as we know it today. It was also influenced by the Christian holiday of All Hallows’ Eve, which falls on the eve of All Saints’ Day (November 1), further entwining the celebrations.

Who Invented Halloween?

While Halloween as a holiday doesn’t have a single inventor, it has evolved over centuries, drawing from various cultural and religious traditions. The Celtic festival of Samhain is often credited as the origin of Halloween, while Roman influences, such as the festival of Feralia (a day to honor the dead), and the Catholic Church’s All Saints’ Day contributed to shaping the holiday we celebrate today.
