ABOUT THE SONG
Halloween began with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain around 2,000 years ago, a time when Celts wore disguises and masks to ward off spirits believed to roam the Earth during the thinning of the veil between worlds. This pagan holiday marked the end of summer and the harvest, and the transition into winter, with bonfires and costumes playing a significant role in the traditions to confuse and deter evil spirits.

The Celtic Festival of Samhain
  • Time of Year:
    The festival was celebrated on October 31st, marking the end of the harvest season. 
  • Blurred Veil:
    It was believed that the boundary between the living and the dead became thin, allowing spirits to cross over. 

  • Disguises:
    To avoid being recognized or harmed by these spirits, people wore costumes and masks to blend in with the ghostly visitors. 

Evolution of the Tradition
  • Christian Influence:
    Later, the Christian holiday of All Saints’ Day (All Hallows’ Day) on November 1st incorporated some of the Samhain customs, with the evening before becoming known as All Hallows’ Eve, or Halloween. 
  • Arrival in America:
    Irish and Scottish immigrants brought these traditions to North America, where they continued to evolve. 

  • Modern-Day Traditions:
    The ancient practice of wearing disguises evolved into the modern tradition of dressing up for trick-or-treating, where people, especially children, go door-to-door collecting candy instead of soul cakes for the dead.

ABOUT THE SONG
“All Saints’ Eve,” commonly known as Halloween, is celebrated on the night before All Saints’ Day, which falls on November 1st. The term “All Saints’ Eve” is derived from the Christian tradition of honoring all saints, known and unknown, and is part of the broader festival of Allhallowtide, a three-day observance beginning with All Saints’ Eve (October 31), followed by All Saints’ Day (November 1), and concluding with All Souls’ Day (November 2).

Historically, All Saints’ Eve combined elements of Christian observances and ancient Celtic festivals like Samhain, a celebration marking the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter. During Samhain, it was believed that the veil between the living and the dead was thinnest, allowing spirits to roam the earth, a concept that influenced Halloween traditions such as dressing in costumes and carving pumpkins.

The way it comes
The way it goes
As if no one knows
(No one knows)
The way it creeps
The way it seeps
Digging in real deep
(In real deep)
The monsters and their ghosts
Infiltrate their hosts
They love to hide in your pride

A silent scream
A streak of mean
It’s all a bad dream
(Halloween)
Under your bed
All turns blood red
It’s all in my head
(In your head)
The monsters and their ghosts
Infiltrate their hosts
They love to hide in your pride

We will find out
What it’s about
No, there is no doubt

Out the devil
All that’s evil
Set your free will free

The monsters and their ghosts
Infiltrate their hosts
They love to hide in your pride

Looking for strength
Perfect full moon
For the ‘tic of loon
Howling at the moon
They say
You’re baying at the moon
Longing for something you can not have
If only that moon would wane in half

Bark into the dark of night
Who causes who more fright?
At the crossroads opposite high noon
Daylight can come none too soon
Follow the pied piper’s haunting tune
Blown away by love’s typhoon
In the alley of emotions strewn
’til pining for you I become immune
Howling at the moon
They say
You’re baying at the moon
Longing for something you can not have
If only that moon would wane in half
