It marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter or the "darker half" of the year. This transition was believed to blur the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead. Over the centuries, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating, carving jack-o'-lanterns, festive gatherings, donning costumes, and eating treats. Across many cultures, it has become a time to celebrate the supernatural and the macabre, making art pieces that theme on the aesthetic and mystical elements of Halloween particularly captivating.
