More probably okay costume ideas: https://www.pinterest.com/JamieWriter7/costume-maybe/
The ancient Celtic festival of Samhain included lighting bonfires and wearing costumes so as not to be recognized by spirits.
Other people tried to scare demonic spirits by wearing scary costumes.
There was also a time when people dressed as Saints and went door to door to get food for the poor. All Saints Day and All Souls' Day tend to combine with Halloween, as the dates coincide.
Halloween costume traditions have evolved over millenniums. What was acceptable once might not be acceptable now. A holiday that combines many cultures and traditions should unite us, not rip us apart. A little planning and a quick online search can prevent unintentional offending. Don't get booted from a Halloween costume party!
