SCRIPTED SEGMENT ON OFFENSIVE COSTUMES:
When it comes to costumes like Blackface, Redface, Brownface, and Yellowface: these costumes are all about establishing white supremacy through making fun of people of color. These depictions were only funny to white audiences, and were harmful, demeaning, and insulting to the victims.
In the early 20th century, minstrel shows were incredibly popular, so it unfortunately was not surprising that Blackface would be used as a popular Halloween costume as well.
Clip of Loni Love speaking on The Real Daytime Show:
"Back then, Blackface was something of a caricature for Black people. They exaggerated our features, it mocked us, things like that. It's a really sad time in American History, and that's the reason why when people say, "Well, I wanna be Diana Ross!" You can be Diana Ross, you just don't have to be the brown Diana Ross. You the white Diana Ross."
Redface is still upsettingly popular for Halloween today. Redface dates back to the Boston Tea Party in 1773, when protesters dressed as Mohawks. And because of white supremacy and colonialism, Redface continues to be popular for centuries after.
Clip of Jenny Marlowe:
"You're not dressing up as a Viking or an Ancient Roman. Those people aren't around anymore. This is still very real to us."
Clip of Sheila Chalakee:
"Because it's so inaccurate, it almost feels like a joke. Like someone's making fun of me and all the things that my people fought and died to hold on to."
Of course, back in the 1930s, racism was a lot more mainstream and ethnic costumes were not viewed as a problem among the white community. I came across tons of newspaper clippings that had lists similar to this, with offensive costume ideas such as “Aunt Jemima" and "Chinese Princess”
If you want to read more about offensive costuming, I'm going to leave a couple resources in the description box. I'm just not qualified nor do I have enough time in this video to really, fully give this topic the full coverage that it deserves. - Jak na to + styl
Learning that Halloween was "romantic" actually clarifies some family history for me! My great-great-great-great grandma was coming home from a Halloween party, and decided to test the superstition that if a girl walks to her bed backwards on Halloween night, the next man she sees will be the man she marries. We always thought that was a strange superstition...She tested it out, walking backwards to her bed. Her home is actually an inn, it being the family business. That night, her key was accidentally given to a guest, so when great ×4 grandma climbed into bed, there was already a man there.
They got married that Christmas eve.
thats adorable!!!!
Aww wait thats so cute
Wow thats really cool
When was that? Just curious
GASP IM SO TRYING THIS OUT OMG
it's so interesting to hear that halloween had romantic implications in victorian times because i grew up in the ukrainian diaspora in canada and we always had "romantic" esque traditions for halloween! one was all the boys would put one shoe in a bag and all the girls would pick one randomly and they'd get paired up with the boy whose shoe they took out. another was that you'd light a candle and drip the wax into a bowl of cold water, and the wax would harden into the shape of the first letter of your true love's name. it's so funny to me how these romantic kinds of spins happened in different parts of the world!
Awwwh, that’s so cute. I don’t celebrate Halloween due to my religion but it’s really nice to know how different holidays can be for other cultures/religions. ❤️
What you described are actually customs still practiced today in Eastern Europe but on a different occasion, during St. Andrew's Day (30th November). It's a very fortune-telling based "holiday", mostly related to finding your "true love". I think it derives from some old Slavic traditions. It has that "mystic" atmosphere so I wouldn't be surprised if it got mashed together with Halloween, since the vibe is similar.
@@annafirnen4815 oh that's so cool! we always celebrated it on halloween in my community but i never really knew the origins of it! thanks so much!!
Hey! I'm from Poland and we have the same tradition with the wax, but we pour it through the hole in the key (in those old, big keys). And we do it on 29th of November. This day is called Andrzejki because it's the name day of saint Andrzej. We also have traditions with shoes haha But in Poland all unmarried girls in the house are puting their shoes in a row, then they move them to the front of the row one after another and the girl which shoe will touch the door still of the front door first will get married soon. Andrzejki are also celebrated in schools and they involve lots of ,,wróżby" (I'm not sure how to translate it). Those are games which are ment to predict your future or love life, like in the wax and the shoes traditions. You can predict your husband or wife name, whether you will be rich or not, how many children will you have, your carrer and stuff :) And this celebration is often connected with collecting candies for children in hospitals (for Christmas presents).
Heyyyyyy from Ukraine! Halloween is definitely becoming a thing here, it's fun and it's also another excuse for businesses to offer things during this period and well... kinda capitalize on it 😅
what a responsible and aware queen. not only did she give a trigger warning and time stamp but the entire script in the description???? i love it
Yes!!!! So much work goes into these videos, it's easy to tell that it's high quality all around
Appreciate you Mina, you have a new subscriber!

Just to clarify: all the children doing black face in the movies were forced, in fact 15 year old Judy Garland was forced to do the minstrel scenes in “everybody sing” she was also threatened to be fired from her contact with mgm. I am NOT justifying any usage of black face but I am saying never blame the children that were taking part, they were (more often than not) forced. Blame the studios making the movies blame MGM, blame Columbia pictures, blame 20th century fox, DONT blame Judy Garland, DONT blame Shirley Temple, DONT blame Mickey Rooney.
(Edit: when I said “don’t blame Mickey Rooney” I DIDNT mean the breakfast at Tiffany’s scenes, he absolutely needs to be blamed for that...I meant him in “babes on Broadway” and “everybody sing” because he was a child)
TinyTinTeeth yes! I think Mickey Rooney is absolutely disgusting, i was just using him as an example because of everybody sing and babes on Broadway ....but he is an awful man, him doing yellow face was INEXCUSABLE
I was actually surprised that that was Judy Garland, so that explains it. But that obviously doesnt excuse it.
Definitely blame Mickey Rooney!
what did mickeyrooney do idk who he is
jiv tuoob he’s the yellow face guy in breakfast @ Tiffanys

Follow your dreams, man. Be the best traffic cone you can be. 😎
@ArtyCeeCee Official Don't you understand? People don't dress up for the joy of doing it, people do it to hook up with other hot people! I mean, unless you ACTUALLY wanna have fun and be creative...I stan you
@ArtyCeeCee Official I don't understand why people would do that. I didn't mean the comment that way, sorry
But consider this: a sexy traffic cone
Ahh you look like a ghostly victorian apparition. So cute.
Ready to slowly and expressionlessly walk through flickering candlelight 👻
You said apparition and all I can think of is hanako
It’s not victorian, late 1910s and 1920s make up
Yeah, more 1920s, but she looks very cute and ghastly

I’m glad you are speaking out the racism and colonialism of halloween as well 😊 nice to hear someone not beat around the bush !

On the contrary. The rare thing to find is the one NOT assessing it.

I know that gay meant happy back then but it's still funny reading it in today's context.
This comment wasn’t necessary
Cloverrr This comment was VERY necessary.
Cloverrr what you a homophobe or sum? I thought it was funny.
For Halloween I'll take a boy and a girl out as a costume
@@bleh7080 they thought it was funny, so they commented it. How hard is that to understand?
Mina really gives me porcelain dark themed doll vibes and I'm loving it sm, also, it's just me or Mina's voice is super soothing? 👀✨
soothing? Her voice isn’t harsh to where I would use the word “shooting” so I thought you meant soothing.
@@hiffahyphae6707 Oh fck my corrector, tnx for pointing it out
Sowy V it’s all good 👌
I was taught that Halloween was a day to honor the dead. We don't celebrate it like this in Finland at all. We do have a similar thing to trick or treating during easter. Going door to door asking for candy by singing a poem and waving a decorated willow branch. It's called "virpominen".
Actually the orgin of halloween was to ward off evil spirits by dressing like them and pretending to be them so they dont possess you
@@lemonwedge5209 Oh, that's interesting
Hi, I'm from Veracruz, México, and here we have a very similar tradition (the candy, the song, the decorated branch), but we celebrate it two weeks before Christmas. It's called "The Branch" (La Rama) and the song is about the birth of Jesus.
@Fantasma Me imagino, creo que casi nadie fuera de Veracruz ha escuchado de esa tradición. E igualmente en los últimos años también se ha ido perdiendo un poco por la inseguridad
I know
Everyone’s gonna be a doctor this year
Ocean Marie I get you tried to make a joke but no not really, plague doctors wear masks with long beaks like birds
Edit; face mask
No everyone’s gonna be a cop ahahahha
Nah everyone is gonna dress up as among us.
You did not i-
I'm actually planning on being Dr Jekyll... how did you know....
Honestly, when I was younger, looking at those old photos of minstrel show performers in blackface were not only offensive, but the performers looked extremely terrifying. I hope I'm not the only one that thinks those performers were horrifying enough to be my sleep paralysis demon. Also, those mickey mouse costumes look extreeemely creepy ugh.
They did it to vilify African Americans as well. I mean look at how Disney makes the villain look ugly or scary. They are trying to persuade people to fear and distrust them just like these people did with Black face. It truly is sad that this had to happen and I hope other countries take note at how offensive it is and stop. Looking at you the Netherlands!
yes, as a black person its very disheartening and hurtful to see those kinds of charicatures of me and my people
@@tink6225 I am so sorry you have had, and still have to endure that today. Its absolutely disgusting and mocking caricature through costume is horrible.
they weren't too offensive at the time (they were still wrong and rightly offended some)
“gay costumes for hallowe’en parties” is my new aesthetic
I’m Australian, and I’m just waiting for the inevitable think pieces on why Australians should/should not celebrate Halloween. Due to the immense influence of American media, Halloween is very slowly becoming “a thing” here, but quite a few Aussies are very unhappy about this. Mostly they say that we aren’t America, and they dislike the massive cultural influence that the US has here.
Personally, I wish Halloween would become more of a thing here- it’s fun. That’s my entire reasoning. And it’s not surprising that Aussie kids, seeing movies and shows that present Halloween and all the fun US kids are having, want to be able to dress up and have fun too. Some communities are starting to do limited trick and treating. And there are adult costume parties- those have been around for a while.
And my daughter used to love going around, and as her trick, saying Happy Halloween in Scottish Gaelic (because I speak some and she’s picked up a few phrases).
So Oidhche Shamhna Dhona Ghut!
Theres always people who oppose having fun but Halloween is a lot of peoples favorite holiday! You should celebrate anything that makes you happy haha
aw that is so cute!
Hey it's practically the same for Mexico although I think there isn't thaaat much opposition to it nowadays
Yeeeeeess I've always loved dressing up and when your a little kid it's fine to dress up in a costume any time of day but once you get older than 6 that's when you have to start wearing normal clothes and as someone who has loved "playing dress up" for basically all my life it's sucks that there is never a time when I can "dress up" and I've always wanted to have a halloween party but since the US is such a joke to everyone i know, I haven't been allowed to have a halloween party or whatever. Luckily this year my parents have become more open minded and don't care anymore (and Dan the man is lifting restrictions on the 24th) so I'm able to spend halloween w/my friends but I think what sucks for younger kids is that they can't go trick or treating unless you live in a certain area because ppl don't to celebrate halloween.
Very true!!
u look like a tim burton character omg i love it !!
I love learning about the history of different kinds of fashion, and I love the way you explain it, plus your soothing voice! Personally, even if we don't go trick or treating this year, I'm going to dress up as Lydia from Beetlejuice.
@@someone-oi6us im too damn ugly to look like anybody this year so instead im going as myself cause im the scariest person i know
So is my little sister!
WHY CAN'T THEY TEACH INTERESTING HISTORY LIKE THIS IN SCHOOL!?!?!?
I'll be going as someone social distancing this halloween. The costume is very elaborate - it involves staying in pyjamas and watching netflix at home.
Method acting!
I'm going to dress up as Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service!
Pleasantly surprised to see this. Good luck!
@@Asummersdaydreamer14 Thanks! I have almost every thing I need I just need to asses my bow situation and maybe get a small radio. (I did get one but it broke after a battery leaked all in it)
Aw that's so cute I'm being uraraka from boku no hero 😊
@@otakuzara3407 Cool!
You’ll look so cute~! I hope you are able to find a Gigi plush or if you have a black cat then it could be Gigi.
Funfact: In Germany "Halloween" wasn't even really established before 2000's and only got merely accepted at around 2007-2010 since it wasn't something "Germans" would accept or allow their kids to do, as in go around houses and trick or treat. Especially amongst elders it was actually considered a "Bad thing" because to them you got the portrait of a beggar. Halloween and Trick or Treating as most know it from the US only got popluar when a lot of American TV Shows for kids got popular in Germany. Since around 2015 it is widely established to go trick or treating on halloween or have parties (when you're above 15/16 mostly) but we sadly don't have events like ghost houses and stuff like that. Though that might be also interesting to know.
Here in México, besides our tradition od Día de Muertos, the Halloween parties are getting more popular, but the trick or treat is very weird... Although we do something similar in New Year's Eve, it's a tradition called The Old Man (El Viejo), where children, young people or adults dressed as old men/old women and go door to door asking for candy and money (with a song called "El viejo"). And after that, at midnight, we set on fire a doll dressed as an old man, to express our goodbye to the last year.
I don't know what you're talking about. When I was in kindergarten we already had halloween parties at our kindergarten and later in my school. We got sweets almost everywhere (besides that one time this grandma gave us oranges because she forgot that that day was halloween). That was before 2010.
Maybe thats a regional thing (I'm from northwestern germany), but I have celebrated Halloween and gone trick or treating since I was a child. There are Halloween photos of me as a toddler (around 2000) dressed as a witch and also ones from a kindergarten Halloween party I went to when I was like 5. To me the main difference to American Halloween always seems to be that pretty much all the costumes are scary grotesque ones (still often sexy though) because there is the opportunity to dress up as whatever else you want at Karneval. What I mean is, the infamous sexy corn costume wouldn't be worn on Halloween here but instead in February:D
Im German and we all celebrated Halloween as children in the late 90s and early 00s. Maybe it depends on the region where you are from
okay but.. why is your voice so calming 🥴
your content is seriously so underrated! you earned a new subscriber!
So interesting to hear that it was in Ireland /Britain in the very beginning! My parents hate Halloween and would never let me celebrate it because they told me it was American , Made up to make money! Thanks for such a cool video I really enjoyed watching ! 🥰💞
Samhain (pron Soh-wen in Irish, and Sah-ven in Gàidhlig- Scottish Gaelic. Pronunciation guide for those who are unaware) is Celtic in origin, but it’s not like it resembles the current American tradition.
That being said, it’s fun, and that is my entire reasoning for why non-American countries should get into it. Isn’t that reason enough?
The roots lay in Celtic tradition, but as everything today America took it's own toll on it
@@katherinemorelle7115 thanks! And I agree definitely a good reason! 🥰💞
@@user-dq8km4zt7f ahh right yeah that's very true! 😊
The OGs. There are a load of games that were played when I was a kid. Mostly to do with apples, dunno if that made it to the States. Also there's bairín Breac and originally we lit up turnips, not pumpkins. It's a lot spookier here. In general seasonal Celtic festivals have some lovely traditions.
I love Halloween, but I feel like it's ruined this year, because the fun I had during Halloweekend was going out with friends and dressing up slightly (for me, just a headband accessory and calling it a day). It was always fun to see people's costumes though, especially those who really put a lot of effort into their looks
But this was a fun video, so well researched, as usual! :)
I'm cosplaying Grover from Percy Jackson this year! I'm making awesome goat legs with cloven hooves! Halloween is hands down the best holiday ever!!!!
Omg so fun, my fav person in pjo
ZIGGY SKINNER Grover was one of the best boys too me ngl I wish you luck on the costume since Ik diy can fight against you sometimes.
I have a genuine question: What if someone’s favorite Disney Princess is Mulan or Pocahontas and they want to dress up as them for Halloween? I’m Chinese myself and when I was in elementary we would dress up for Halloween and go to school and I remember seeing non Chinese/Native people dress up as them. I wasn’t offended at the time and I feel like I still wouldn’t be if I saw it but I want to know what other people think about it.
Edit: The reason why I didn’t list Tiana is because her clothing wasn’t based off of African culture (as far as I know of please correct me if I’m wrong) but rather the time period.
Edit 2: when I said “I still wouldn’t be” I was referring to kids dressing up as Mulan NOT kids dressing as Pocahontas because I very obviously have no say in that matter.
In my opinion I think it’s fine if it’s like a kid not trying to offend anybody just as a costume
Idk cuz even as a kid i remember my school having us dress up as Egyptians
I’m Chinese as well and I think it’s fine. However, I know some people may be offended. I know Native American culture and Pocahontas are much more sensitive topics.
Lydia Z I dressed up as Pocahontas when I was 7 and I don’t remember getting stared at weirdly or anything but somebody did make a post about how kids shouldn’t wear it if they aren’t Native American which I think is kinda wrong because I get if your offended but they are just kids
Doesn’t seem like something people should get offended over to me
I'm from Scotland, and we still actually call it 'guising' :)
Granny would alway be pissed at my if o dared call it trick or treating 🥴🏴 too much American TV!!
I think "guising" is a cool term.
Fun fact: the first appearance of “trick or treating” so to say was in the the early 1900s if I remember correctly. At the time people would leave little soul cakes for spirits so they would have the energy back to the spirit realm as well as for good luck. Sadly though, due to high levels of poverty at the time the poor began stealing the food cakes in order to survive and the church fearing for these people’s’ souls for stealing began telling people who made soul cakes to give it to the poor if one of them knocked on their door asking for some. Also the church began celebrating All Saints Day around Samhain in order to take away attention from Samhain since it was a Pagan holiday and they wanted to try to convert other. Sorry for the long post, but I just adore Halloween and the fashion behind it! If anyone wants to learn about the history of Jack-o-lanterns or just cute Halloween traditions reach out and I’d love to share my knowledge! Happy Halloween y’all!
@B Lugosi I am part Irish and Portuguese on my dad’s side and then have no clue what I am on my mom’s side since she was adopted lol
i love that you're adding funny bits of editing now
Love the video! As a gay man of irish decent, Halloween is one of my favorite days every year! Don't forget to put out your Jack-o-Lanterns to word off any spirits 🎃
0:53 so that’s the origin of the ghost trend that it’s trendy on tiktok

Ellis Bunbun Oh, didn’t noticed that, thank tou
Girl, I freak out every time you post. You are just STUNNING and even your voice is beautiful. Great content!
This is probably the only halloween content I'm so excited about 😌💕
I love the summary: Halloween is a holiday that fosters creativity and experimentation. Another fabulous video! ✨💕
I seriously love how informative your videos are! it's so interesting to watch :D
Thank you so much for making this video! I loved it, and learned so much about my fav non official holiday. I'm super thankful for all of the forces that came together to make it what it is. This year I'm dressing up as an Oni~ pretty stoked about it!
here to boost you in the youtube algorithm because I truly love and appreciate your content, thanks Mina!
Loved the mention of traditional Scottish halloween! I'm Scottish and we still tend to use the word 'guising' more than trick or treating!! So cool to have learned a little bit more about my own traditions through your video!
this spooky look is such a serve, ill never get over how cool your brows look.
I absolutely adore your videos and I appreciate all the effort you put into them! They are so educational and I love how socially conscious and responsible you are adressing these topics, especially the more sensitive ones, it's so important.
I'm so glad i found your channel! You are an amazing youtuber that clearly puts lots of work, research and effort into your videos. The trigger warning and the script in the description was such a thoughtful thing to do! On top of that, the videos you do are very entertaining and you have a great personality and unique style :) Great independent youtubers like this are a breath of fresh air over the clickbait-y videos done by huge companies.
so happy you're uploading regularly, i always love your videos!! ✨🕊️
What an awesome topic! I love seeing vintage photos of Halloween, they are so much more eerie in a modern contextual light
absolutely love how much effort clearly goes into the research and putting together of these videos. keep doing what you’re doing! (i love your style btw)
I love this, I learned a bunch and loved seeing all the old costumes 🤗
Your style is IMMACULATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am so thankful you put this together! i absolutely love your content and this is by far my favorite!
just wanted to say that your videos are so comforting to me
the absolute DEDICATION to this video is outstanding and i would love if u could do a make up tutorial sometime💖
did she call us doves? nice fanbase name :)
I love that you never shy away from the real facts! A pleasure as always! Thank you.
I love the way you provided a specific trigger warning and then provided your script so viewers can still get the content if they wanted to skip ahead. 💕
Can I just say that your outfit is amazing
this is one of the most underrated youtube channels
I love these informational videos on history and fashion!! a wonderful contribution to spooky season and good knowledge to have when considering halloween costumes that aren't based on ignorant ideas. thanks for this!
your makeup looks always look like you put so much effort into them. I love it!
Great video! Even tho I wish the 2000s would have gotten their own part too. It's a shame that so many people ignore this decade & always jump right into the modern day after the 90s just because it was the very first decade of the 21st century. The 2000s are totally not comparable to 2020 standards in my opinion - judged by technology and society. I‘m really looking forward for you to include the 2000s decade (2000-2009) in future videos ☺️
I think in a few years we will have a more clear vision of what separates the contemporary from the early 2000’s.
The video was 100 years. From 1900-2000
i just dyed my hair red this fall and now don’t know if i want to dress up as black widow, megara, or kim possible(even though i don’t think i’ll actually go anywhere on halloween)
obviously meg, unless it’s cold where u live, then kim possible
U can do wendy
I love your makeup! The blush placement is *chefs kiss*
Thanks for making this wonderful and educational video. Thank you for mentioning guising [not that many people do] and learning about the history behind the event
mina!!!! yay u uploaded!!!! luv u, i always enjoy your videos
fun fact we still call trick or treating guising in scotland lol
i love this channel so much ive never been really interested into fashion im more of a painter but now all i do is draw sketches of mina's fits and medieval outfits and women in thin eyebrows. THANK U MINA
So glad to know that Halloween Romance Genre was a thing, I love this video so much!
thank you so much for mentioning samhain and saying it correctly, as a pagan and a witch who celebrates it it is nice to see representation instead of misinformation. amazing video :)
I'm Wiccan and Halloween is my favorite time of year. I really appreciate you spreading awareness about the roots of Halloween, as well as how some people choose to use it as an excuse to be racially insensitive without blaming it on the holiday itself. I'm glad I found your channel, what a well informed and sensitive queen.
hey, you know about all the religious appropriation issue with wicca right? Cause wicca whitewash indigenous practices. (my intention is not religious intolerance, just inform)
@@icedmintchocochip What are you talking about? Wicca comes from ancient Celtic and Nordic traditions from Europe. My family has roots in viking culture from Norway, which is the tradition my mom raised me on. Now it’s become more of a mix of things as modern pagans learn about other cultures and decide to incorperate them in their personal practices. (not just Wiccans. Wiccans have a set of basic beliefs they follow and not all pagans share these beliefs; some, both Wiccans and non-Wiccans, are more eclectic than others in what they choose to believe. Pagan is an umbrella term that multiple cultures fall under, including Wicca and many indigenous cultures from around the world.) Also, not all pagans or Wiccans are white? I'm genuinely curious what you specifically mean. Basically, please elaborate
can you inform me a little about the wicca? i saw about it when i was investigating the roots of christmas and though it was interesting. i even told to my best friendo to try it but he didn't want to, so ended my enthusiasm
@@sofiagonlo1253 What do you want to know?
@@TheFangirlOtaku first of all, i want to clarify that english is not my first language so im sorry if my grammar/words arent correct.
well, i read that it was something like sub-pagan (? and that the goddes was basically nb so, i want to know if this is right, and last: do you guys have churchs? or something like a bible? maybe a book wrutten by the founder like in satanism?
Another fascinating overview of everything! Love itttt
I absolutely LOVE your videos. They're so fascinating and well-researched. Thank you!
Omg I'm so early! I recently discovered your channel and I love your videos so much!
Can I just say that I love that you look like a ghostly, even more doll-like version of yourself in this video?
I’m obsessed with your outfit and makeup!!
I have been searching for this information for awhile now and was so excited to find it on your page!! I always learn so much from your videos and the history of halloween and its costumes has always interested me! Thank you!
In Colombia, until the 1950's, children used to dress up like angels, asking for food and blessings .
i'm thinking of doing like a very low effort bog witch costume. green eyeshadow, green lipstick, yellow and orange blush, green dress, and absolutely nothing done to my hair. maybe some nail polish. I'm going to have Zoom classes all day, so it feels silly to put in a bunch of time and money to sit on my bed with the camera off because of my crummy wifi and sweat through something really intensive. Ugh, i miss halloween of yore!!!
ooh that sounds cool!
Very informative and thoughtful video. All the old ads and photos you found were fascinating!
I really cant believe how well researched your videos are! Thanks so much for this one :)
I’m still gonna dress up and do some looks this year, even if just for photos! (Definitely gonna do at least one vampire look cause I’m on a big Dracula kick rn) 🖤 great video, informative and interesting as always, and I’m absolutely in love with your look! Giving me biiig Tim Burton victorian ghost vibes, i love it! 🖤
I have enough clothes in my closet to make a costume so ill just throw something on and see what works
I just want to say that this is such a phenomenally well researched and interesting video. Serious bravo for also including your whole script in the description. I'm an American who lives in the UK and Halloween just isn't as popular here. A lot of English people my age have never been trick-or-treating or to a Halloween party, and lots of English families don't get involved now. I often hear crabby old ladies tutting at the supermarket Halloween section saying that "Halloween is so American" and that they don't know why it's getting bigger over here. To hear that it came from Ireland, Scotland and Victorian England in the FIRST place gives me quite the comeback for all the Brits I meet each year who cringe when they ask why this is my favourite holiday.
Thank you for the research and care you put into this video! Never knew about the connection between Thanksgiving and spooky shenanigans :)

Your videos are always so well researched and you can readily admit when you don't feel adept enough to debate certain topics. Also you are always respectful to sensitive issues - respect.

Tip - look up some of the really old costumes from 1900’s in Ireland they’re fuckin terrifying😂 when I was younger our ma’s dressed us in bin bags lol
I would wear regular black clothes and a €1 hat from the local spar and say I was “a witch” 😂
