Halloween Competition: Win a MyHeritage Complete Subscription!

Halloween is celebrated differently around the world and each country has its own traditions. Everyone who celebrates Halloween can name different costumes they have worn, and how their traditions and styles have changed over the years.

Looking back through the years, it was popular in the 1920s and earlier to wear scary masks that covered your entire face on Halloween.

As the years progressed, Halloween parties and balls became more popular and eventually, scary masks became a style of the past.
