Tha Pimp-Mastaz have written up a quick history of Halloween for all you freaks to check out. I know I don't need any encouragement on my end... My wife is a Halloween NUT. Her & her cohorts are building a mock-up of a sinking pirate ship in our front yard this week :o

"Back during the time when the Celts practiced their pagan religion rite of summer's end and winter's beginning (called Samhain), they believed that it was a night where the thin veil that seperates the living from the dead was lifted. Some thought that the spirits would roam the countryside at night in search of bodies and/or homes to possess for the next year."
