Halloween FAQs
Why do we celebrate Halloween on October 31st?
The date comes from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest season and the start of winter. Celts believed the boundary between the living world and the spirit world blurred on this night, and many of today's Halloween customs, from costumes to bonfires, grew out of ways people tried to ward off wandering spirits.
Where does the phrase "trick or treat" come from?
The exact origins are a bit murky, but the phrase is generally linked to older European traditions of going door to door in costume, performing a song, poem or trick in exchange for food. The modern "trick or treat" version took hold in America in the early 20th century and has since become the standard greeting for anyone answering the door on Halloween night.
Why is Halloween associated with black cats and spiders?
Black cats have long been tied to superstition and folklore, often linked to witches and bad luck in medieval Europe, which carried through into Halloween imagery. Spiders and cobwebs earned their spot for a simpler reason: they're common in old abandoned-looking houses, the classic backdrop for a spooky Halloween scene.
What is the significance of black and orange as Halloween colours?
Black represents darkness and the night, while orange nods to the autumn harvest and pumpkins that Halloween grew out of. Together they've become the unofficial colour scheme of the holiday, showing up everywhere from decorations to costumes and confectionery packaging.
