Halloween, also known as Hallowe’en and Allhallows Eve, is the evening before All Saints' Day; often devoted to pranks played by young people. Halloween is celebrated on the night of October 31, usually by children dressing in costumes and going door-to-door collecting candy. It is celebrated in much of the Western world, though most commonly in the United States, Ireland, Scotland and Canada. Irish, Scots and other immigrants brought older versions of the tradition to North America in the 19th century.
