General Halloween Resources

Halloween's origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death.

Each year, on the 31 st of October, millions of children across the U.S dress-up in their favorite costumes and take to the neighborhood streets to enjoy spooky, kooky, creepy "Trick or Treat" fun! Halloween is the time of Ghosts, Goblins, Spirits, Gravestones and Graveyards. No single item represents Halloween more than the this Jack-O-Lantern.
