Randy Krum has a new infographic on his site cataloging the history of everyone’s favorite October holiday Halloween.
I designed this one mainly focused on the historical foundation of Halloween. I’m sure a completely separate timeline could be made just covering the last 100 years of commercializing Halloween, but I tried to stay away from most of that with this one.

I remember when I read A Tree Grows In Brooklyn – Halloween had ‘Slamming Gates, ie, kids would go around and, well, slam gates in their neighborhoods. This was set in the early 1900s.
Always remembered that detail (I read the book 32 years ago).
