My favorite holiday since I was a child. It's not about the candy or costumes for me. There's something in the air. It's a feeling I just can't explain. Thanx for this video. 🎃

Finally someone that pronounces Samhain correct. Thank you for a wonderful video without the modern horror nonsense.

[bobdewey]

Halloween's history always fascinated me.

I love Halloween, I’ll work Christmas, thanksgiving, New Year’s Eve if I get off before midnight but I refuse to work on Halloween 🎃

[onerva.]

as a European, oh how jealous I was of American children growing up! Halloween is slowly getting more popular here, thankfully. I've spent a lot of time trying to convince people here that it's not just some American shallow candy holiday... next time I'll just show them this video! 🎃

[danielgraziano]

This is awesome! The American version of Halloween is so much different than the origin of the holiday. Great job on the video, guys! I can’t wait to see In Search of the Dead!

[nuggwife]

So excited when I saw this! I absolutely love your channel! 🎃🎃🎃

Mischief night/Devils night/Cabbage Night is an interesting topic to cover as well! Was reading about it a few nights prior.

[laurak]

Yay! Can't wait for my guy to get home from work to watch this with him. We love Halloween!

P.S. I am so excited for, "In Search of the Dead", that I feel like a child anticipating Christmas.

[nanani]

I just want to say that I love the accuracy that you guys put into this video 💟💟 it's good to know that people are still interested in lost history of traditions.

[PrincessDenyse]

Halloween...my "New Year's Eve, " as well as my favorite holiday. Thanks TPS for bringing us yet another wonderful and highly anticipated vid! LOVE IT!

[EmBack]

Excellent video, just in time for the spookiest time of year. Thank you for not being just another YT video about any haunted house or location; detailing the historical and mythological traditions of Halloween that every viewer will learn from demonstrates how much time and effort you’ve both spent researching the subject.

I certainly cannot wait to learn from your research on ISOTD!

[TheYANGpodcast]

after a long wait...i finally listen to the best narrator...and get informed as well...grazie

[red.]

Nice documentary I learned a few things which is always a good thing. America certainly took Halloween to the next level.

[crowatthesol]

Thorough and informative as always. Great vid!

[theawakening]

I am more than excited and on edge to see your documentary...love your work Laura you have such a bright mind

[WhizWoz]

Oh my goodness thank you thank you! I have been looking for a new Halloween documentary on YouTube for so long 💚 and I'm just about to put up my Halloween decorations, so this is perfect!

[antonyadkins]

Another awesome video guys. Fascinating facts I never knew about the origins of Halloween 🎃. Thanks

[MortisMedia]

Wonderful video, very very interesting indeed!
I was clueless as to just how far back Halloween actually went. I personally would love it if they celebrated it more here in the UK... Maybe one day...

[lullzful]

I want you to narrate my daily life! Your voice is both haunting and beautiful.

[TheMightyKilokahn]

I love Samhain. As an American, I have looked into it's history and it seems so much more magical than the watered down version of what people celebrate nowadays. I love it.
