About Halloween
Halloween falls on 31 October, the evening before All Saints' Day. Its name is short for "All Hallows' Eve". The festival grew out of Samhain, an ancient Celtic celebration that marked the end of the harvest and the start of winter, when people believed the spirits of the dead could walk the Earth.
Many of today's traditions came from Ireland and Scotland. Irish families carved lanterns from turnips, and immigrants took the custom to North America, where pumpkins made a bigger and easier canvas. In Scotland, children still go "guising": they dress up and perform a song or a joke in return for treats.
Halloween is now marked in many countries, including Ireland, the UK, the United States, Canada and Australia. For most people it is a night of costumes, sweets, scary films and spooky stories, which makes it a natural fit for a quiz.
