How many days until Halloween?
About Halloween
Halloween grew out of the Celtic festival of Samhain and All Hallows' Eve, the night before All Saints' Day on November 1. In the US it's celebrated with costumes, trick-or-treating, jack-o'-lanterns and haunted houses.
Plan ahead: costume and candy shelves get picked over in the last week of October, and pumpkins carved more than a few days early tend to soften.

Halloween is on October 31 every year.
