Halloween Trivia: Unveiling Fun Facts about the Spooky Season!
Halloween, celebrated on October 31st, is steeped in history, tradition, and fascinating trivia that many might not know. Originating from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, Halloween was believed to be the night when spirits of the dead returned to the earth. This celebration, which marks the end of the harvest and the onset of winter, gradually evolved over centuries to include many of the customs we enjoy today.

One of the most iconic symbols of Halloween is the jack-o’-lantern, which originally wasn’t made from pumpkins. Early Irish traditions used turnips or potatoes for their lanterns, carving scary faces to ward off evil spirits. It wasn’t until Irish immigrants brought the tradition to America, where pumpkins were more abundant, that the custom of carving pumpkins took root.

Trick-or-treating is another beloved Halloween tradition, with its origins in medieval Europe. Back then, it was known as “souling,” where poor people would go door to door offering prayers for the dead in exchange for food. In modern times, children dress up in costumes and go door to door, receiving candy instead of food.

Speaking of candy, did you know that Americans spend over $2.6 billion annually on Halloween candy alone? The most popular treat handed out is chocolate, particularly miniature versions of well-known favorites like Snickers and Reese’s. Candy corn remains a Halloween staple and was first introduced in the 1880s by a company that made agricultural-themed candies.

From haunted houses to spooky movie marathons, Halloween continues to blend ancient traditions with modern entertainment, making it one of the most celebrated and exciting holidays worldwide.
