Reasons to wear masks on Halloween
Halloween would be boring without costume masks. But not everyone knows the real reason for wearing this masquerade mask.
According to the beliefs of Western countries, on Halloween, evil spirits return to the human world. This makes people very afraid if they accidentally encounter them. Therefore, people will dress up and wear strange masks when going out. The demons will think that this is one of their own kind and will no longer threaten or tease them.
Besides, when wearing a costume mask, people will be free to play mischievous tricks, freed from their usual shyness. Everyone will join in the fun of partying, playing freely, and meeting on Halloween night.
