Something is staring at you poignantly in the background... Danana! It's Stormlilly!

Jpkurihara, it's a bit more complex then that - All Hallows Eve meant different things to different peoples at different points in time - some are more similar to those of the modern day then you might think, whereas others are like those you mention - and still others resemble neither. Many, many different cultural and religious events were eventually syncretized into modern day Halloween, of which masked iconography was only one component.

... I realize this is boring pedantic history talk, but Halloween is a little bit of a passion of mine. I must expound upon it at any available opportunity, wahahah!
