Halloween Fun Facts!

  • European immigrants brought Halloween to North America, they would celebrate the harvest by singing, dancing and telling ghost stories around a bonfire
  • 12754_4766537802280_1463799850_nThe tradition of wearing masks and costumes was started by the ancient Celts who wore them to avoid being recognized by ghosts and spirits that they believed roamed the countryside on Halloween
  • The first Jack o’ lanterns started as hollowed out turnips. They originated in Ireland where candles were placed inside to ward off ghosts and spirits on the Samhain holiday
  • To prepare for All Hallow’s Eve, The Irish are also believed to have started the tradition of trick-or-treating by visiting neighbors requesting food contributions for the town feast
  • Growing big pumpkins is a popular hobby, people can win big $$ participating in contests at fall festivals, the largest ever grown weighed 1810 pounds. Be sure to save the seeds, they have anti-inflammatory properties and they’re a good source of magnesium. Those little silica packets supposedly help keep pumpkins from molding (read that great tip at The Cheese Thief)
  •  The most popular Halloween candy is Reeses, then M&Ms followed by Snickers, Hersheys & Kit Kats
  • One of my favorite scary movies of all time, Halloween, was made on a very limited budget in only 21 days. Jamie Lee Curtis’ character, Laurie Strode was named after John Carpenter’s first girlfriend and the famous Michael Meyers mask was William Shatner’s mask painted white
  • 2012-10-31 Halloween & RR FT 017Legend has it that black cats protect witch’s powers
  • Having the longest life span of any mammal its size, the little brown bat of North America lives an average of 32 years. Vampire bats feed on the blood of horses, cattle and birds; they live in Central and South America, not Transylvania
  • Folklore says that the spirit of a loved one is watching over you if you see a spider on Halloween                       HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
