NEW YORK – Halloween had its origins with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would carry torches and don costumes to hide from evil spirits and ghosts. Over the centuries, it has morphed into a big party and the scares are all in good fun. In America today, Halloween is big business and in terms of consumer spending, second only to Christmas. Vintage and antique Halloween decorations never seem to lose their appeal.
