Originally it was known as “Samhain,” a Celtic festival marking the end of the summer and the beginning of the cold months.

It was first celebrated more than 2,000 years ago in County Meath.

Carved pumpkins originate in Ireland, Scotland and England, where people carved menacing faces into vegetables and placed a candle inside to scare away the evil wandering spirits.

Using pumpkins is an American spin on the ritual – the first lanterns were made from hollowed out turnips, rutabagas, gourds, potatoes and beets.

Wearing animal skins and heads is popular around for the earliest Halloween celebrations.

Samhainophobia is the fear of Halloween.

Black and orange are typically associated with Halloween.
