Halloween And Art

By Josh Albarran - October 31, 2016

The New Yorker Magazine covers Halloween 1945.
Halloween is the most scariest and un-official holiday of the year, it goes all the way back when its origins started in Europe centuries ago as All Hallows' Eve there (there's also an Day of the Dead event over in Mexico) while the word "Halloween" first existed in 1745 and used as an holiday on the final day of every October. Halloween is an tradition for kids want to trick-and-treat, wearing costumes and create new spooky pages like an work of art.

Celebrating Halloween in 1842, protrait by Daniel Maclise.
Feels like when look at paintings of a dead coming back to life for an once-in-a-lifetime celebration such as zombies, vampires, ghosts among others; it's an tradition that you will talk to your children for generations to come. You may also seen classic horror films airing on TV such as the famous moon scene in The Nightmare Before Christmas or an young Drew Barrymore kissing an alien in E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, when it comes to both TV and film, it scares from your spine, but it also entertains you.
