Hallowhat?
Well, Halloween's been over for a bit now, but I just want to give you some random info on Halloween anyways.

Halloween was originally called "All Hallows's Eve," the night for ghouls and demons, where the poor would dress up in costumes and beg door-to-door. This was during the Middle Ages, of course. The following day would be All Hallows's Day, and the ghouls and demons would be driven away at this time. All Hallows's Day was canceled and changed to All Saints's Day in order to honor good, not evil.

The day after All Saints's Day, November 2nd, is All Souls's Day, or the Day of the Dead. And...yeah.

-Now you know Hallowhat it means.
