Halloween Continues with Mehron Makeup

Halloween is a continuation of centuries old traditions. Historians point to various ancient festivals honoring the gods, celebrating the harvest, honoring the dead, praying for the souls of the departed and the last day for fun and mischief before settling in for a long cold winter. Whether you want to believe that we can trace the roots of Halloween back to the Roman Goddess Pomona, the Roman Festival of Parentalia, or the the 8th Century Medieval Festival of Samhain, we know that written documentation of Halloween can be found in the works of William Shakespeare which dates Halloween at a minimum to of 1593. The similarities of Halloween and the Galectic Harvest Festival Samhain are hard to discount, even the dates coincide with Halloween. The Galectic Harvest Festival Samhain was held on October 31-November 1 and incorporated rituals associated with the Day of The Dead.

It is obvious that the traditions that have evolved in celebration of Halloween have continued to expand throughout cultures and time, taking from the past and adding in the present. Putting on disguises and trick or treating is very similar to the practice of souling in the Middle Ages, a practice that saw the poor going door to door and recieving food in exchange for prayers for the dead, which occurred on Hallowmas, November 1st. The earliest know in print usage of the term "trick-or-treat' was in the Hamlet of Blackie, Alberta, Canada in their local paper in 1927.

Halloween is a continuation of the festivals, cultures and traditions of centuries of human existence and may even some day be traced back further. In 1927 Mehron Melik began producing Theatrical Makeup for the Performers of New York City. In 2011 Mehron Makeup is now used by Performers throughout the world.
