Every October, we dress up, light pumpkins, and laugh in the dark — but behind the fun lies a night once lit by sacred fires and shadowed by fear. In this Halloween special, LilWeird traces the festival’s ancient roots in Samhain — when the veil thinned, the dead walked, and the living wore masks not for play, but for protection. A curious look at how ritual became revelry, how fear turned to fun, and how the ghosts of the past still linger in every candle’s flicker.
