Why do people dress up for Halloween?

It's common to see people dressing up in costumes on Halloween, with many choosing creepy outfits like ghosts or skeletons.
Spooky outfits were worn during Samhain (the festival that Halloween originates from) as they were believed to scare away any evil spirits lurking in the shadows of the celebrations.
People thought if you wore a scary mask or disguise then the ghosts hopefully wouldn't pick on you.

Today not everyone wears scary costumes on Halloween.
Some people prefer to choose their favourite character from a movie or book, or maybe a superhero.
Here at Newsround we love Halloween and dressing up and we want to hear about your costume ideas.
