What Were Halloween Parties Like in the Early 1900s?

[@nelllie6760]

My Grandma hosted big parties like this when I was a kid. The themed cute food, homemade decorations and party favors. Punch with dry ice, bobbing for apples, throwing bean bags through a big ghost she cut out of wood and painted, good times. I’m glad I got to experience that as a wee one.

[@Hair8Metal8Karen]

In Scotland we'd cover a soda or potato scone in treacle and hang it from the ceiling or door frame and the goal was to bite it with your hands held behind your back.

[@lizabee484]

Sounds very similar to the Halloween parties my family threw when I was a kiddo ☺️

This is much closer to the true Halloween vibe for me than today’s blood and gore. Enjoyed your video.

[@Orion_TheyThem]

Yeah, I wish we'd go back to this version. Heck, even the Sleepy Hollow version. Just spooky stories and harvest decorations with some ghouls and goblins and cute black cats!

[@dairallan]

@@Orion_TheyThem It kinda depends how you view history. What people found scary changes over time and back then much that we find innocent or banal would have seemed far spookier. For instance and to stick with the Halloween flavour, Burn's poem Tam o Shanter was considered pretty scary at the time it was published while today it might be seen as more quaint.

[@ThePrinceofHisOwnKingdom]

Blood and gore?? Today's Halloween feels more like Comic Con.

My best guess would be that "burned almonds" are the same dish as the german "gebrannte Mandeln". For this sugar is heated and almonds are coated in the caramel, they tase the best when eaten warm. Traditionaly you can buy them at fairs, especially in winter.

[@KazRowe]

Oh i’ve had those, they’re delicious!! Alas no this recipe was just burning plain almonds in a pan haha

Irish viewer here, my gran had my cousins and me doing the ‘game’ @9:44 but a bit different. If you touched a dish with a ring you would be be the first to get married, if you touched water you’d be a sailor or fisherman or whatever, if you touched soil you’d farm the land, if you touched the dish with a twig you were destined to marry someone who’d beat you, and if you got the ashes you’d be the first to die. Eventually she stopped laying out the ashes dishes after a while because that one was too macabre for her. 😁

I imagine that olives were probably one of those foods that were popular because they were seen as "exotic" in the same way that pineapples were very trendy in the Regency.

[@sarahwatts7152]

Plus if they were canned, you could have them lying around. The convenience factor of it must have been extremely appealing - and you can think about how everyone was gaga for gelatin desserts/dishes for so long, because an inconvenient and high class thing became convenient.

[@IsaacIsaacIsaacson]

@@sarahwatts7152 Olives were, for some reason, also traditional during that time of year. I'm not sure why. They were a big tradition of thanksgiving until the mid-20th century

[@cleoharper1842]

Canned olives were just as lacking in flavor then as they are now (from what the grandparents told me) and probably weren't nearly as "olivey" as we would picture them now. That being said, I love olives...just not the way they've been described in these dishes. And I think they may have been more traditional on the west coast where they were grown? But yes, they were considered exotic to all non-Italian families (unlike mine), like gorgonzola dressing was...blue cheese dressing today. My grandmother used to make literal vats of that shit. And it wasn't so skimpy on the cheese, or heavy on the mayo. That stuff nowadays is gross.

[@kidlitfanful]

I think those sandwich options are excellent.

Just bear in mind these are not the 'origins'... they are quite modern collections of reinterpreted traditions, including ones with probably no actual origin in anything to do with halloween, brought together, at least for the focus of this video's time period, in a multi-ethnic emigrant environment. maybe rather than 'halloween origins' a better term would be 'more traditional halloween'

This video made me super nostalgic! In high school, my theatre friends and I had an annual Halloween party very similar to this. We’d play games with apples and stuff but without all the fortune telling. There was constant parental supervision, so all the drama came from things like who teamed up with whom for which games. It was like ooooo he teamed up with her for the game with the M&M’s ooooo! 😆 It was honestly so much fun though.

I think what is most special about old fashioned Halloween traditions is the rush of nostalgia they bring. I remember being invited to a Halloween party at a local Campfire Girls meeting one year, and was so thrilled and excited. We got to dress in costumes, played games and had Halloween themed snacks. It was magical to me. All those vintage decorations still vividly brings back the fun and excitement I felt. I have loved the holiday ever since, and would plan my childrens costumes and spend months haunting local thrift shops serching for the perfect items. One year, my daughter was Lizzie Borden, complete with a fake ax, and was a big hit. I always tried to make their All Hallows Eve special, with creepy foods for dinner, trick or treating, and a spooky bedtime story like The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. I hope they have fond memories of Halloween too.
