Actually Not That Accurate...


Great item to watch for kicks around Halloween, but it's facts are highly questionable, given that there is reputedly no known proof whether or not most Celtic tribes made sacrifices of human flesh. Nor has it been proven that they worshipped any god by the name of Samhain or that they set aside a solemn day for the dead.

I'm hugely obsessed with Halloween history and all of its roots, and currently own and have read close to six books solely about the history, several books on general Celtic studies, and many originally Celtic tales.

If you are planning on watching this documentary, please also consider reading "Halloween: Pagan Festival to Trick or Treat" by Oxbrow

Or "The Pagan Mysteries of Halloween" by Jean Markale

Either of these books can provide an already vast, basic knowledge of the detailed history of the holiday.
