Halloween is based on a pagan holiday that honored the dead. Many, Many cultures have holidays to honor their dead. "Trick-or-treating" goes back a long way. Pagan priests would go door to door asking for offerings for the dead. People also believe that the souls of the dead would visit their loved ones on this day because the veil between our world & the world of the dead was at it's thinnest. Christians couldn't get rid of the holiday so they changed it to be about saints.
