The origin of Halloween began as a day of religious ceremony, deaths and worship well over 2000 years ago. Throughout the passing of time, conquering armies and the rise of Christianity, the original dreary tone of Halloween was dropped and forgotten to be replaced by that of festivities and celebration. As it is with all things, Halloween took another turn yet again in the global, entrepreneurship and profit driven word of the twenty first century.

No longer just a simple festival and celebration, Halloween is one of the most popular holiday in the western world with expect consumer spending of almost eight billion dollars just in the United States alone. Halloween’s popularity grows every year- such growth can be attributed to products of the twentieth century such as mass marketing and increasing social networking. Beneath the growth, Halloween is evolving yet again, if ever noticeably.
