In Old Irish, this
translates to summer s end .
However, there were also pagan rituals associated with this
festival, including a festival of the dead.
People disguised themselves as evil spirits so that
they would be safe, and the tradition of dressing up on October 31st
(usually as something
scary) continues to this day in the United States.
Trick-or-treating is the custom of going door-to-door and asking for candy on
Halloween.
Children always hope to get their favorite candies, such as Snickers, M&M s,
KitKat, and Reese s Peanut Butter Cups.

pumpkin seeds, and candy shaped like skulls, jack-o-lanterns, or bat
