Believe it or not, the wearing of scary masks is probably one of the most ancient parts of Halloween tradition. Thousands of years ago, very superstitious people in Europe believed that on All Hallows Eve the lines between the living and the dead were blurred and the spirits of the dead were allowed to roam the earth freely. Believing that some of these spirits were indeed evil and had designs on creating mischief or even mayhem, villagers would often dress up in masks and costumes in an effort to make their selves also appear dead or at least scary. These people believed that these efforts would at least keep the evil spirits away and this tradition became an annual ritual and an important part of the All Hallows Even celebration.
