A Halloween costume is a special outfit you wear to look like someone or something else, like a ghost, a cat, or a superhero. Some costumes are silly, some are spooky, and some sparkle with glitter and color. People have been dressing up for autumn celebrations for hundreds and hundreds of years.  \nThose autumn nights go back to an old festival called Samhain, held long  \nago by the Celtic people of Ireland and Scotland. People told a story that spirits could wander on that night, so some folks wore disguises to blend in with the crowd. Later, in Scotland and Ireland, this turned into \"guising,\" where children dressed up and went door to door singing songs or telling jokes for treats. Does that sound a little like trick-or-treating? It should, because that is where the idea came from!  \nGuising crossed the ocean when families from Ireland and Scotland moved to America. At early American Halloween parties, kids and grown-ups made their own costumes at home from old sheets, paper, and paint, because you could not buy one in a store. Then, in the 1930s, companies began making costumes and masks to sell, so families could buy a whole outfit in a box. A company named Ben Cooper became famous for these boxed costumes.  \nThose store-bought costumes soon showed characters that kids loved from the movies and television. Suddenly children could dress up as their favorite heroes, cartoon animals, and space adventurers. Today you can be almost anything, and a National Retail Federation survey shows that superheroes and princesses are among the most popular choices year after year. From a simple sheet with two eyeholes to a glowing superhero suit, the costume you pick is part of a story that is many centuries old!  \nThe History of Halloween Costumes  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is a Halloween costume?\u003Cbr>A.
