Although Halloween began as a holiday for individuals who practiced the occult, it has since turned into something completely different. It has really become all about the kids, about the fun of dressing up and pretending to be someone else for a night and about children gorging themselves on way too much candy. Unfortunately, there is also a sinister aspect to the holiday that has to do with children believing that they are entitled to receive candy and vandalizing property when they don't get what they want. Trick-or-treating is a customary practice for children on this eve in many countries. Children in costumes travel from house to house in order to ask for treats such as candy with the phrase "Trick or treat!"

Traditional activities include trick-or-treating, bonfires, costume parties, visiting “haunted houses” and carving jack-o-lanterns. Irish and Scottish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century including Ireland, the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom as well as of Australia and New Zealand.

The word Halloween or Hallowe'en dates to about 1745 and is of Christian origin which means "hallowed evening" or "holy evening". It comes from a Scottish term for All Hallows' Eve (the evening before All Hallows' Day). In Scots, the word "eve" is even, and this is contracted to e'en or een. Over time, (All) Hallow(s) E(v)en evolved into Halloween. Although the phrase "All Hallows'" is found in Old English (ealra hālgena mæssedæg, all saints mass-day), "All Hallows' Eve" is itself not seen until 1556.

Halloween is usually celebrated among family, friends, even co-workers in many different ways, but the most popular tradition is holding a large costume party at October 31’s night! Individuals will come out in all sorts of strange clothes, unique make-up, colourful masks, dress up as spooks, ghosts, walking skeletons which exist in the spiritual and physical world, or dress up as witches and wizards in a party where has been filled with bats, black cats and spiders. Everyone is eager to experience the most of their spookiest trick or treat!
