A pumpkin is seem out front of a home as children trick or treat though streets on Halloween Day on Oct. 31, 2008 in Sydney, Australia. Halloween, also known as Hallowe’en and shortened from its original form of All Hallows’ Even, is internationally celebrated on October 31 and originates from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which was a celebration recognising the end of the harvest in Gaelic culture.
