4.0 out of 5 stars Short but Informative History of Halloween, September 19, 2005

Tim Janson (Michigan) - See all my reviews
(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE)

This review is from: The Haunted History of Halloween (History Channel) (A&E DVD Archives) (DVD)

Like Christmas Unwrapped, this A&E special, which pops up every year around Halloween, is hosted by Harry Smith. It tells the history of Christmas dating from the time of the Druidic festival of Samhain right up to the 20th century. Along the way noted scholars and authors are interviewed as the roots of Halloween are traced over the centuries. Clips from horror films such as Halloween are included. Also discussed is Mexico's Day of the Dead holiday and various cities are visited to explore their Halloween traditions and festivities. It's a bit of a fluffy pieces but it's all good fun and I still enjoy watching it each Halloween season.

This review is from: The Haunted History of Halloween (History Channel) (A&E DVD Archives) (DVD)

The History Channel has always put out some great programs and i think this one was truly the most interesting and informative out of them all on holidays in the USA. Even though, they dont show this very often on History Channel (or any other "Haunted History"), its very rare that you will see it, maybe every now and then, but, not all the time as most reviewers would suggest..just so you know. I would buy this, not just for the information of the History, but, for the rare viewing that it gets. Highly Recommended!
