Great creepy pic, Viv - and thanks for the info.

It's a gruesome history to be sure, nothing to celebrate! ;>

Awesome history lesson!:) Creepy pic!:)

Halloween is nothing to celebrate, if only people really knew what they were doing, they might not do it! ;>

thats pretty crazy history. did that happen here or in like another country? but good picture.

It originated with the Celtic Druids, pagans who worshipped Satan and all demonic things. It's a gruesome history, this is just a very small bit of what they actually did! 8( Thanks Billy for looking.

very true comment... fun idea for kids but the true history is pretty evil.

This used to be one of my favorites, but not anymore, it's pure evil! Thanks for looking ;>
