Halloween Facts
Historical curiosities
Halloween has older roots than costumes and candy.
Before pumpkins became the norm, people in Ireland and Scotland carved turnips, potatoes, and beets to ward off wandering spirits.
Records and stats
Modern Halloween is also an enormous commercial event.
The heaviest pumpkin ever recorded weighed 2,749 pounds and was grown in Minnesota in 2023.
Cultural quirks
Some of the strangest Halloween customs are the quiet ones.
Some animal shelters used to pause black-cat adoptions during October because of fears the cats would be used in pranks or rituals.
