San Diego, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) September 8, 2011 -- Halloween is quickly approaching!

Pumpkin patches will soon be spreading their vines, creating perfect family outings in the lovely fall weather. Get a head start this year on your Halloween costumes and decorating!

Halloween got its roots back in the Middle Ages starting with the practice of “Souling.” People would receive food and gifts for praying for the souls of the dead. Another ancient practice called “Samhain” (sow-in) influenced the modern day Halloween. During this ancient Celtic tradition, participants would dress in dark clothing and cast spells to rid their area of evil spirits. These two, along with other ancient traditions throughout the world, have all bonded together to create the modern day Halloween festivities.

Bringing Halloween back to its medieval origins can make for a creative and fun festival experience Step away from the pre-packaged costumes and create your own medieval Halloween masterpiece! Make yourself into a Zombie Knight, still fighting for your King and Queen’s favor! Make yourself into a Medieval Gladiator, battling for your life! If you need a quick costume, grab a bed sheet and make yourself into a Greek god or goddess for the evening. Medieval Halloween costumes can be creative, fun and simple additions to your festivities this year!

You can even make your home into a Halloween Spectacle by transforming your yard and home into a haunted medieval castle! Instead of a scarecrow in your front yard, prop a Knight against the entry into your castle grounds. Fashion a makeshift jail cell out of old wrapping paper cores, painted silver or black. Then light up the yard with tiki torches. Decorate your home with family crests and swords. Get some cardboard boxes and make a lift-gate as an entrance. Let your medieval creativity flow and be the most unique and spooky home on your block!
