i forget how these two events have anything to do with dressing up as ghouls and getting candies.
i think the druids would dress their children up as ghouls so they wouldnt get taken away when the ghouls they believed ran around on this day, but i fail to see how this all gets you candy.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
Haloween started a long time ago as a Christian holiday honoring the saints.
All Saints Day did...not Halloween. All Saints Day is the day after Halloween. Halloween was started because people thought that the saints would be ghosts so they made the day mostly out of fear or something along those lines and possibly as a joke to mock the Christians.

Aww Shucks, I missed that Elfen...:D
It used to last 2 days or more.
Nevermind I looked at the Wikipedia thing. But Halloween was definitley made from Hallows "All Saints" day.

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
The term Halloween (and its older rendering Hallowe'en) is shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the evening of/before "All Hallows' Day"[1], also known as "All Saints' Day".

Where does that come anywhere close to All-Hallow-Even? Anyway, does anyone know why/when candy giving on hallowe'en started?
And I hated that book as well.
And what is the official time when we're allowed to talk about a book in public? I mean, no one cares if you LOTR spoilers, but if you talk about that book at all, people start shushing you saying "some people haven't read it yet!"
Nah, Asians (indians, native americans) came here over the Beringia Ice thing... But they were dumbasses so we ownt them all...
not that im indian or anything; but you shouldnt act like that to them. i mean, they've been taking shitt from everyone forever. and we give them the crappy deserts and mountains that we cant use for profit.
