How Halloween Came To America
Celebration of Halloween was extreme- ly limited in colonial New England because of the rigid Protestant belief systems there. Halloween was much more common in Maryland and the south- ern colonies. As the beliefs and customs of different European eth- nic groups as well as the American Indians meshed, a distinctly American version of Halloween began to emerge. The first cele- brations included “play parties,” public events held to celebrate the harvest, where neigh- bors would share stories of the dead, tell each other’s fortunes, dance and sing. Colonial Halloween festivities also featured the telling of ghost stories and mis- chief-making of all kinds. By the middle of the nineteenth century, annual autumn festivities were common, but Halloween was not yet celebrated everywhere in the country.
In the second half of the nineteenth century, America was flooded with new immigrants. These new immigrants, especially the millions of Irish fleeing Ireland’s potato famine of 1846, helped to popularize the celebration of Halloween nationally. Taking from Irish and English tradi- tions, Americans began to dress up in costumes and go house to house asking for food or money, a practice that eventually became today’s “trick-or-treat” tradition. Young women believed that on Halloween they could divine the name or appearance of their future husband by doing tricks with yarn, apple parings or mirrors.
In the late 1800s, there was a move in America to mold Halloween into a holiday more about com- munity and neighborly get-togethers than about ghosts, pranks and witchcraft. At the turn of
the century, Halloween parties for both children and adults became the most common way to celebrate the day. Parties focused on games, foods of the sea- son and festive cos- tumes. Parents were encouraged by newspa- pers and community leaders to take anything “frightening” or “grotesque” out of Halloween celebrations. Because of these
efforts, Halloween lost most of its superstitious and religious overtones by the beginning of the twentieth century.
By the 1920s and 1930s, Halloween had become a secular, but community-centered hol- iday, with parades and town-wide parties as the featured entertainment. Despite the best efforts of many schools and communities, vandalism began to plague Halloween celebrations in many communities during this time. By the 1950s, town leaders had
successfully limited van- dalism and Halloween had evolved into a holi- day directed mainly at the young. Due to the high numbers of young children during the fifties baby boom, parties moved from town civic centers into the class- room or home, where they could be more easi- ly accommodated. Between 1920 and 1950, the centuries-old practice of trick-or-treat- ing was also revived. Trick-or-treating was a relatively inexpensive way for an entire com- munity to share the Halloween celebration. In theory, families could also prevent tricks being played on them by pro- viding the neighborhood children with small treats. A new American tradition was born, and it has continued to grow. Today, Americans spend an estimated $6 billion annually on Halloween, making it the country’s second largest commer- cial holiday.
