Trick-or-Treating Facts!

Trick-or-treating is a derived from the much older practices of guising, souling, and mumming

guising was a Scottish tradition of children wearing “disguises” to protect themselves from evil spirits, and going door-to-door to receive food or money. it dates back to at least the 16th century!

souling was a British/Irish practice of soulers (mainly children & the poor) going door-to-door and receiving soul cakes (’souls’) in exchange for song & prayer. this practices dates from the 15th century.

mumming was a similar British practice, though more commonly performed on Christmas and Easter. Amateur actors (mummers) would visit houses & pubs to perform folk plays in exchange for money. These often involved sword fights, and occasionally sword dances! 

Immigrants brought these practices to North America, where trick-or-treating itself developed in the 1920s. It’s gained popularity in a number of other countries since them, with different countries developing their own variations, but is still most commonplace in the U.S. and Canada.

Guising, souling, and mumming are still practiced today in certain parts of Britain (and elsewhere), though not on the scale that trick-or-treating has reached. Soul cakes look like this:

sometimes i see tiktoks on my fyp from this middle aged (i think?) autistic man who fucking loves dracula and every time i see him it makes my day a million times better. i saw one the other day where he was excited because he met his friend for lunch and the building number was 19931 and he was like "1931 is the year the Bella Lugosi Dracula film was released!! so thats how i know today is gonna be a good day 😎" and it was just.... so wonderful to see. the joy this guy feels in his tiktoks is soooo infectious

this actually is rewiring my brain as we speak
