It goes back further then that. It started in the 1880's by an old count (who's name escapes me, I'll look it up) that decided to make fun of peoples fears. Ironicly, it then spiraled out of his control when young people started to take it seriously. It then devolved into the smallish, cultish groups until revived as you mentioned near the middle of the century.
