Trick or Treat is the first book to both examine the origins and
history of Halloween and explore in depth its current global
popularity. Festivals like the Celtic Samhain and Catholic All
Souls' Day have blended to produce the modern Halloween, which has
been reborn in America - but there are also related but independent
holidays, especially Mexico's Day of the Dead. Lisa Morton explores
the explosion in popularity of haunted attractions and the impact
of events such as the global economic recession, as well as the
effect Halloween has had on popular culture through literary works,
films and television series. Trick or Treat takes us on a journey
from the spectacular to the macabre, making it a must for anyone
who wants to peep behind the mask to see the real past and present
of this ever more popular holiday.
