Halloween or Halloween (a contraction of its original title "All
Hallows' Evening"), also known as All Hallows' Eve is a yearly holiday
observed around the world on October 31, the eve before the Western
Christian feast of All Hallows. According to some scholars, All Hallows'
Eve initially incorporated traditions from pagan harvest festivals and
festivals honoring the dead, particularly the Celtic Samhain; other
scholars maintain that the feast originated entirely independently of
Samhain.
Typical festive Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (also known as "guising"), attending costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.
