"<p>The origins of the holiday we now call Halloween can be traced back to the <a href=""http://www.history.com/topics/halloween/history-of-halloween"" target=""_blank"">Celtic festival of Samhain</a>, when folks would light bonfires and dress up in costumes on All Hallows' Eve, to ward off spirits&nbsp;the night before All Saints' Day on November 1. It wasn't until the early 20th century that it became the spooky affair that we know and love today in America, celebrated with&nbsp;parties, parades,&nbsp;treats, and costumes. Pictured here are rare&nbsp;Halloween collectibles from the early&nbsp;20th century, such as noisemakers, novelty candy containers, toys, and costumes that date from 1905, which can range&nbsp;upward in value to $4,000 today.&nbsp;</p>"
