Why do we do that on Halloween? From the sexy costumes to the spooky décor, from group costumes to ghost stories, this week, we dig into the fascinating why behind our Halloween habits. In this episode of Why Do People Do That?, we unpack: Why we love to dress up and what that says about identity and belonging.  Why women often feel pressure to go “sexy” on Halloween (and where that comes from) How culture, groupthink, and tradition shape the way we celebrate. The healing power of ritual, togetherness, and a little predictability. And why, even as adults, we can’t help but crave the thrill of Halloween night. It’s part psychology, part cultural commentary, and 100% Halloween fun, a mix of reflection and revelry that explores what our favorite spooky holiday says about us.  Tune in, laugh a little, and maybe see your costume choices in a whole new light.
