現時中文裡萬聖節通常指 Halloween，英文意為萬聖節前夕（每年10月31日）。原本萬聖節指的是每年11月1日的諸聖日（All Saints）或亡靈節（Day of the Dead），而 Halloween 中文應作萬聖節前夕。本文介紹的是 Halloween，有關其他含義請參看萬聖節。
每年的10月31日是西方傳統節日萬聖節前夜（Halloween），當晚小孩會穿上化妝服，戴上面具，挨家挨戶收集榶果。節日主要流行於英語世界，如不列顛群島和北美，其次是澳大利亞和紐西蘭。

萬聖節前夜英文寫作 Halloween，是 All Hallow Even 的縮寫，類似於平安夜被稱為 Christmas Eve，是指萬聖節（All Hallow's Day）的前夜。Hallow 來源於中古英語 halwen，與 holy 詞源很接近，在蘇格蘭和加拿大的某些區域，萬聖節仍然被稱為 All Hallow Mas，意思是在紀念所有的聖人（Hallow）那一天，要舉行的彌撒儀式（Mass）。

類似於聖誕節和復活節，萬聖節及萬聖節前夜也來自於基督教對其它宗教的節日的吸收、改造和重新詮釋。萬聖節前夜起源於不列顛凱爾特人的傳統節日，在10月的最後一天，他們相信這是夏天的終結，冬天的開始，這一天是一年的重要標誌，是最重要的節日之一，被稱為「死人之日」，或者「鬼節」。這一天各種惡鬼出沒，死去人們的靈魂也會離開身體，在世間游走，這一天的晚上也就格外危險。人們會把食物放在門口吸引有主的鬼魂靈魂，而為了嚇走邪惡的鬼魂，凱爾特人會載上面具。

當天主教傳教士登陸不列顛諸島的時候，傳教士們為了壓制這種被他們視為異端的德魯伊傳統，就把這一天之後的11月第一天定為萬聖節，紀念天主教的聖人們，希望以此打壓這些鬼怪觀念，所以說是先有鬼節，後有萬聖節。也因為這個原因，實際上萬聖節和鬼節的習俗，主要是在英倫三島和北美的前英屬殖民地，也就是美國、加拿大、澳大利亞，紐西蘭等等。其中美國的萬聖節前夜傳統最初由來自愛爾蘭和蘇格蘭的移民於19世紀傳入，而其他發達國家則於20世紀末受美國流行文化影響而開始慶祝萬聖節前夜。

萬聖節前夜通常與靈異的事物聯繫起來。歐洲傳統上認為萬聖節是鬼魂世界最接近人間的時間，這傳說與中國的盂蘭節類似。

美國明尼蘇達州的 Anoka 號稱是「世界萬聖節之都」，每年都舉行大型的巡遊慶祝。
