Have a Historical Halloween 🎃

It's All Hallows' Eve! At History Hit, we've been been looking into the origins of this popular festival and some of the stories that have chilled and entertained us for centuries. Beyond the scary pranks and the spooky outfits, the festivities of this holiday have a rich, cultural history.   There are plenty of spooky documentaries to watch on History Hit, including 'Medieval Afterlife' with Dr Eleanor Janega. She delves into the medieval phantasmic - because if we want to understand what makes another society tick, it helps to take a look at what makes them scared.   Sign up to History Hit with promo code 'HALLOWEEN' for 50% off your first 3 months
