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,其次是澳洲和紐西蘭。

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慶的吸收、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慶,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,是最重要的節慶之一,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、澳洲,新西蘭等等。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。

Halloween is a western annual holiday celebrated on October 31. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating , wearing costumes and attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, ghost tours, bonfires, visiting haunted attractions, pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films. It is popular in Great Britain,North America,Australia and New Zealand.
Halloween (also spelled Hallowe'en) has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints, but is today largely a secular celebration.
In the Anglican Church, some dioceses have chosen to emphasize the Christian traditions of All Saints’ Day, while some other Protestants celebrate the holiday as Reformation Day, a day to remember the Protestant Reformation.
Many Christians ascribe no negative significance to Halloween, treating it as a purely secular holiday devoted to celebrating "imaginary spooks" and handing out candy. Halloween celebrations are common among Roman Catholic parochial schools throughout North America and in Ireland. In fact, the Roman Catholic Church sees Halloween as having a Christian connection.
Most Christians hold the view that the tradition is far from being satanic in origin or practice and that it holds no threat to the spiritual lives of children: being taught about death and mortality, and the ways of the Celtic ancestors actually being a valuable life lesson and a part of many of their parishioners' heritage. Other Christians feel concerned about Halloween, and reject the holiday because they believe it trivializes "the occult" and what they perceive as evil. A response among some fundamentalists in recent years has been the use of 'Hell houses' or themed pamphlets which attempt to make use of Halloween as an opportunity for evangelism.
