What is Halloween, and where did Halloween originate from?

Halloween, also known as All Hallows' Eve or All Saints Eve, is celebrated on the 31st of October as the day before the Christian feast of All Saints Day. A day for remembering and revering the dead, Halloween started in Europe and spread to America, where it exploded in the late 20 and 21st centuries into the phenomenon we see across the globe today.

Halloween is celebrated in many different ways, but the most common way is to embrace and evoke all things spooky and scary! You can transform your home, your yard and yourself into something out of a horror movie to join in on the thrilling celebrations, and Spotlight is proud to offer you everything you need to involve yourself in Halloween this year.
