Fear of halloween: Samhainophobia
Samhainophobia is the fear of Halloween.
Samhainophobia comes from the word Samhain which is the Celtic holiday we nowedays connect to Halloween. Samhain marked the end of the harvest, the end of the “lighter half” of the year and beginning of the “darker half”. It was traditionally celebrated over the course of several days. Samhain was popularised as the “Celtic New Year” beginning in the 18th century and nowedays we celebrate it as halloween on October 31.
