Halloween this year is on a Tuesday. And the next day is a Wednesday that we get off from school because of a teacher work day, so people can stay out later without having to worry about being at school the next day. Skittles is the top candy on Halloween. The fastest pumpkin carving only took 16.47 seconds. Candy corn was originally called chicken feed. Halloween also originated from an ancient Celtic festival and Halloween is around 2,000 years old.
