Oktober, dem Tag vor All Saints' Day oder All Hallows - Allerheiligen und wird seit alters her mit Geistern und Hexen in Verbindung gebracht. In Schottland und Irland basteln Kinder turnip lanterns - Rübenlaternen und gehen guising, d.h. sie gehen in Verkleidung von Haus zu Haus und erhalten für ihr Singen oder Aufsagen von Gedichten Geld. In den USA verkleiden sich Kinder an diesem Abend und gehen mit einem Sack in der Hand von Tür zu Tür. Wenn die Bewohner ihre Haustür aufmachen, rufen sie Trick or treat!: Man soll ihnen einen treat - Süßigkeit geben oder man bekommt einen trick - Streich gespielt.
