Halloween is celebrated on October 31, the evening before All Saints' Day - its name comes from All Hallows' Eve.
Its traditions draw on the Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest season.
Costumes, trick-or-treating and carved pumpkins are the best-known customs, especially in the US, Canada, the UK and Ireland.

Pick and order costumes early
Buy pumpkins and carving tools
Stock up on candy (and a nut-free option)
Decorate the porch and check the lighting
Plan the trick-or-treat route and a time to be home
