The use of skull imagery during the holiday has roots in ancient Celtic traditions. The Celts celebrated Samhain, a festival marking the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter, a time when they believed the boundary between the living and the dead was blurred. Skulls, symbolizing death and mortality, were used in rituals and as protective symbols against evil spirits. Over time, as Halloween evolved, the skull became a prominent symbol of the holiday, representing both the spooky and the macabre aspects of the celebration.
