The origin of Halloween

Several posters have agreed it's important to learn about the history and culture of Halloween instead of just celebrating it withouth giving it much of a thought.

So we thought it a good idea to start a new discussion here, for you all to share what you know about Halloween origins and traditions.

Here's a short video clip so that we get started!
