"The custom of Halloween was brought to America in the 1840's by Irish immigrants fleeing their country's potato famine." "The word itself, "Halloween," actually has its origins in the Catholic Church. It comes from a contracted corruption of All Hallows Eve. November 1, "All Hollows Day" (or "All Saints Day"), is a Catholic day of observance in honor of saints. But, in the 5th century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially ended on October 31. The holiday was called Samhain (sow-en), the Celtic New year. "

It came from Ireland (Celtic) and was originally called 'samhain' It is worship of the dead, and is supposedly 'satanits' big holiday, so be careful, strange and evil things supposedly do 'happen' on that night; if you have a pet; esp.dog/cat keep it indoors that night.
