Only by reading the United States and understanding the opponent can we better defeat the opponent!!!!
Early in halloween celebrations, the holiday retained its original focus on horror. Instead of princesses, firefighters, or even friendly ghosts and human serial killers, the children wore costumes that made them look like something out of hell.
Homemade Halloween costumes
A century ago, there were no Soul Halloween pop-up shops to help people find the perfect outfit. Instead, the mothers dutifully stitched together discarded masks, headscarves, and cloaks. As a result, each child was dressed in a truly unique costume, a terrible combination of childlike innocence and demonic horror.
The traditional purpose of Halloween costumes is to deceive dead souls and supernatural vices that are said to return to Earth, making them think that the wearer is one of them so that they are not attacked. Thus, the children's clothing of the past tended to be supernatural, from ghosts and corpses to devils and devils.
Those modern Halloween stores are full of clothing made from less transparent fabrics, but in the 19th and 20th centuries, adults rarely dressed up. Even when they did, they followed the children's morbid, haunting costumes that even the most fervent horror fans could not arouse their enthusiasm.
Victoria Halloween
Victorian England, with its obsession with death, was when Halloween really started to catch on. Young people are not only encouraged to wear costumes for the, but are also encouraged to pair up with a cute opposite-sex demon, which leads to many couples meeting at Halloween parties. Their costumes were still largely scary, but they began to include characters such as cats, clowns, mother goose, and poppy in their mashups.
By the 1930s, as young people began to want to dress up as their favorite superhero or movie characters, people began to open their hearts and put on less scary Halloween costumes. However, the United States was also in the midst of the Great Depression, so for many families, clothing had to be made as cheaply as possible. Many children dressed up as tramps, their clothes torn and their faces covered with dust because it was cheap and easy.
Become popular culture
In the second half of the 20th century, many families, schools, and church groups began to express dissatisfaction with the common images of demons, undead creatures, and supernatural beings around Halloween. Instead, children are encouraged to dress up as ballet dancers, cowboys, and other non-threatening human archetypes. Meanwhile, around the 1970s, two things happened: one was that commercially made masks were introduced, making it easy for people to dress up as monsters or aliens. Second, the sexual revolution and the gay community's embrace of Halloween (some call it "gay Christmas") means that adult costumes are starting to become more and more "adult" Today, you're unlikely to find a child dressed as creepily as shown here, rather than an adult who is too willing to scare you half to death.
