Halloween costumes are costumes worn on or around Halloween , a festival which falls on October 31 . An early reference to wearing costumes at Halloween comes from Scotland in 1585 , but they may pre-date this . There are many references to the custom during the 18th and 19th centuries in the Celtic countries of Scotland , Ireland , Mann and Wales . It has been suggested that the custom comes from the Celtic festivals of Samhain and Calan Gaeaf , or from the practise of `` souling '' during the Christian observance of Allhallowtide . Wearing costumes and mumming has long been associated with festivals at other times of the year , such as on Christmas . Halloween costumes are traditionally based on frightening supernatural or folkloric beings . However , by the 1930s costumes based on characters in mass media such as film , literature , and radio were popular . Halloween costumes have tended to be worn mainly by young people , but since the mid-20th century they have been increasingly worn by adults also .

Such impetus may be imparted by a kick , pass , fumble , or in certain instances by batting the ball . A touchback is not a play , but a result of events that may occur during a play .

Dark - Hunter is a paranormal romance series by Sherrilyn Kenyon . Kenyon began writing the series in 1986 in Horror , Fantasy and Science Fiction magazines . The Dark Hunters are immortal warriors created by the goddess Artemis to battle the daimons ( who were created by her brother Apollo ) that kill humans in order to steal their souls so that they may live past their twenty seventh birthday . Artemis created the Dark Hunters as a way of controlling the Atlantean god , Acheron , whom she had bound to herself and who she had once had a relationship with prior to his human death at the hands of her brother . She knew of Acheron 's love and compassion for humans and his unwillingness to allow others to suffer when he could stop it . Knowing this , she created her immortal warriors and manipulated him into leading , training , and being responsible for them . Not just anyone may become a Dark Hunter , nor is the process easy . A person must die as the direct result of a terrible betrayal , such as their best friend or a family member killing them in a brutal way . At the moment of their death , their soul will cry out for vengeance loudly enough to be heard by Artemis on Mount Olympus . Upon arriving , she offers the person a choice : true death or trading their soul to her to be resurected as a Dark Hunter . In exchange for their soul and service in her Dark Hunter army , Artemis gives them 24 hours to seek their revenge against those who betrayed them . After those 24 hours are up , they must do their duty to mankind and hunt down the Daimons that prey on the humans . When a Dark Hunter slays a Daimon , they release any human souls that the Daimon has stolen , provides that the Dark Hunter finds the Daimon fast enough . If the Daimon is not slain soon after taking the human 's soul , the soul will die from being in the wrong vessel and be unable to pass onto whichever afterlife they were meant to go to upon their death . The Dark Hunters work individually , each of them having a territory to watch over . They can not be in close proximity to each other for more than a short amount of time without draining each others powers . Also , any physical harm cause by one Dark Hunter to another will cause the first Dark Hunter to suffer the same physical pain or hurt tenfold . The Dark Hunters are night dwelling immortals who can not be in sunlight ( as Apollo cursed the Daimons with not being able to go out in the sunlight so too did Artemis leave the Dark Hunters with the inability to stand sunlight ) . They were made to be similar to the Daimons that they hunt so that they would be better able to hunt , battle , and kill them . They have fangs , super sensitive senses , and various psychic powers .
