About the date
The name is a shortening of “All Hallows’ Eve”: the evening before All Saints’ Day (All Hallows’ Day) on November 1.
The countdown runs to midnight at the start of October 31 where you are. Trick-or-treating usually happens that evening; towns sometimes set their own hours, so check locally.
