Although the Irish and Scots may have celebrated Halloween for a great length of time, here in England it only became a celebration a few years ago.
Instead, we had Bonfire Night with fireworks and bonfires on 5 November to celebrate the Gunpowder Plot, when Guy Fawkes and others went unsuccessfully to try to blow up Parliament and assassinate King James I in 1605. An effigy of Guy Fawkes was made and burnt on top of the fires. Bonfire Night is still celebrated.

Halloween is a commercially successful horror film series based on the John Carpenter film Halloween: The Night of Horrors (1978). From 1981 to 2002, seven sequels were released, plus a remake (2007) and its sequel (2009). With the exception of Halloween III, in which Myers only appears as a cameo, all installments in the series follow the story of serial killer Michael Myers. 2018 saw the start of a new trilogy that takes place 40 years after the first part and ignores all other films.[1]

Why do we say "Trick or Treat"?
A treat or a curse. This tradition comes from the old European custom of "souling". Beggars went from village to village to beg for "soul cakes" (cakes of souls) which were made of bread and raisins In exchange for these gifts, they promised many prayers for the souls of the parents their donors.

Name the magician who died on Halloween?
Harry Houdini
Harry Houdini was the most celebrated and famous illusionist, magician, and escape artist of the 20th century. The magician is known for his death-defying escape stunts, such as escaping a whale's belly and coming out alive from 6 feet of dirt. However, he couldn’t escape the blow of death and died on Halloween in 1926. There is a lot of debate on the actual cause of Houdini's death. Some believe that it was planned, while others think it was due to ignoring a serious medical issue.

Hi @MountainMom thank you for your fun contest, to @johamilton for another amazing badge and @Diamond_Lim for tagging.
If you see a Teal Pumpkin this Halloween it means that house will also be providing fun non-food treats to trick-or-treaters. This is to provide a safe and fun Halloween for kids with food allergies.
