Description & Specifications

The book Trick or Treat explores the roots and history of Halloween, while simultaneously analyzing its current global popularity in depth. Celebrations like the Celtic Samhain and the Catholic All Souls' Day have merged to create modern Halloween, which was reborn in America, but there are also related independent celebrations, particularly Mexico's Day of the Dead. Lisa Morton examines the explosive increase in the popularity of haunted attractions and the impact of events such as the global economic recession, as well as the influence Halloween has exerted on pop culture through literary works, movies, and TV series.

Trick or Treat takes us from the spectacular to the macabre, making it essential for anyone who wishes to peek behind the mask to see the true past and present of this increasingly popular celebration. Pages: 232, Dimensions: 12.9x12.9cm
