If you love Halloween as much as we do, you most probably have already picked out a costume, filled your candy buckets, have a list of scary movies prepared, and your fun party all planned out (we suggest keeping the gathering small this year given the pandemic pandemonium). But how much do you know about Halloween? There is more to it than pulling the scariest costume. We have four Halloween trivia to blow your mind!

The tradition is more than 2,000 years old

Halloween started as a pre-Christian Celtic festival referred to as Samhain, meaning summer end, celebrated around November first. It marked the final day of the harvest and the crossing of spirits to the other world. Sacrificial bonfires were lighted by the people of United Kingdom, Northern France, and Ireland to ward off ghosts. They put on costumes too!

It is the second largest commercialized holiday in USA

Yes, it is! It comes right after Christmas. People spend a lot on Halloween, from the décor to the costumes. In 2019, our Halloween spending was close to $9 billion according to the NRF or National Retail Federation. That’s a whole lot of costumes and candy, right?

Full moons on Halloween are rare

The last October 31st which had a full moon was in 2001. It was 1955 before that! 2020 may not have been what we expected it to be, but we are going to have a full moon on Halloween this year. We will have to wait for 2039 for the next one.

New York City Halloween parade is a spectacle

The parade draws millions of spectators including thousands of participants. It started as a simple idea though. A Greenwich Village puppeteer, Ralph Lee, decided to walk for his children and their friends from house to house. The local theatre heard about this and it snowballed into a great event. It has only grown bigger and better since then.
