The Great Depression was a period of great economic and social change that affected many parts of American life, including Halloween. Parents, concerned about their sons running on Halloween Eve, organized haunted houses or paths to keep them off the streets.

Halloween has long been a boisterous night for adults and children, and is seen as a positive outlet for youngsters to set off fireworks, rob neighbors' gates to rob corpses, and in 1879, about 200 boys in Kentucky stop a train by placing a dead body across railroad tracks. In 1900, medical students at the University of Michigan stole a decapitated corpse from an autopsy laboratory.

That only evening a boy could feel free to play and prank in the open air without danger and his pleasure to frighten pedestrians, open doors, rob the neighbors' gates Even if the boy had stolen the neighbor's door the punishment would be nil. They did not see this as harmless fun before the Great Depression, yet the economic disaster exacerbated the Halloween behavior of young adults.

This increased public anxiety and anger. In 1933, parents became angry when hundreds of teenage boys overturned cars, took off telephone poles and engaged in other acts of vandalism across the country. People began referring to this year's holiday as Black Halloween, similar to the way They referred to the stock market crash four years ago as Black Tuesday.

Some cities banned Halloween altogether, but in many others, the response was to organize Halloween activities for young people not to be reckless, and they started organizing trick parties that include, fashion shows, and spooky houses to keep them occupied, and a crowd of boys began rushing to Halloween parties in the 1930s instead of vandalism.

Some public attractions were as crowded as Europe. Beginning in the nineteenth century, the Marie Tussauds wax museum in London and the Chamber of Horrors appeared. In 1915, the British amusement ride manufacturing company built an early house of horrors with dim lights, vibrating floors, and demonic cries. These American Haunted Homes, are small, non-profit lots in residential neighborhoods, and in the decades after that.

Large organizations began to host this idea in their own homes so that donations would follow them or be commercial attractions, the most famous and influential was the Disneyland Haunted Mansion in 1969, which had a very high production value in its day, since then the horror houses in America have become more Detailed, there are more than 1,200 horror sites that pay a fee to enter, but as in the Great Depression, there are still plenty of little places in American neighborhoods that parents make for free using their homes, yards, and children's imaginations.
