Great article by author, Halloween Guru, and friend Lesley Bannatyne.
Halloween—old Halloween of folklore, I mean—was tied to the quickening

(fairies, witches, dead souls) through the night. These facets, too, are
the playing fields of horror in film, art, and literature. You’d think
Halloween and horror would have made perfect bedfellows from the
beginning. But the Halloween we know now has been invented and
reinvented many times over the past few hundred years. It’s always been
spooky and otherworldly, but until fairly recently, it had little to do
with horror.
