Kahlua and Skyy Vodka are helping us get ready for Halloween with a slew of new creepy cocktails and dastardly drinks.

Before we get to the drinks, enjoy this bit of Halloween history.

Long before Halloween was associated with bobbing for apples and jack-o-lanterns, it was recognized as the eve of the cold winter season, which people believed brought about evil spirits that would damage the warm summer’s harvest. This Pagan Celtic celebration was called Samhain, and the Celts in the British Isles donned costumes to ward off trouble from the ghosts of the dead. The term Halloween is shortened from “All-hallow-even,” as it is the eve of “All Hallows’ Day.”
