I remember when I was growing up, Halloween was celebrated on just one day, October 31st. There was a party at school, followed by trick or treating on the way home, and maybe a haunted house that night. Now, it's the whole month. That's great for the kids because they can wear their costumes several times instead of once.

There are some people out there, especially children that enjoy Halloween but don't like the scary parts. That's another great thing about the holiday now. You can find plenty of events and activities that are fun for the whole family.

LOOK: How Halloween has changed in the past 100 years

Stacker compiled a list of ways that Halloween has changed over the last 100 years, from how we celebrate it on the day to the costumes we wear trick-or-treating. We’ve included events, inventions, and trends that changed the ways that Halloween was celebrated over time. Many of these traditions were phased out over time. But just like fake blood in a carpet, every bit of Halloween’s history left an impression we can see traces of today.
