Welcome to Halloween Hell
‘Upon that night, when fairies light’ by Robert Burns – Halloween Halloween is an ancient tradition that is celebrated on 31st October, and is a night when both adults and children dress up as witches and various other ghouls to take part in the festivities and they just love the ghost stories and nursery rhymes. It has long been believed that Halloween night is a time when witches, fairies and ghosts are able to roam the earth and create mayhem. | | The Origins of Halloween
The true origins of Halloween are not really known, although it is believed to be based on an ancient Gaelic/Celtic festival called Samhain, which was hosted on 4th November and the Catholic festival of All Saints day, which was celebrated on 1st November.
Halloween in England
England has moved from the traditional All Hallows Eve festivals to making Halloween a fun night which can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. Discover where your favourite Halloween past times originate from, decide on your costume and then go and wreak some mayhem on your neighbours as you indulge in the much loved game of trick or treat. |
Halloween around the world
Halloween is celebrated around the world in a variety of ways, but aside from the fun that is had in England it remains a night to remember the dead. Some countries such as Austria choose to leave gifts for their dead. Other countries like France have long chosen to respect their dead by not celebrating Halloween at all. Halloween games

Spend the night in with a scary movie. There are plenty of horror films to choose from that will have you hiding under the covers and jumping with fear. Urban Legends
No Halloween night would be complete without a scary story. Urban legends are unique because not only are they scary in their content, but also because they are apparently based on true events. Scare your friends by relaying the events of madmen who have never been caught and still roam the dark streets, or read some myths or superstitions for some equally scary tales. Haunted places
The United Kingdom is home to some ancient castles and homes. Many of these buildings have seen some gruesome events in their times, and remain haunted by the lost souls that died there. Spend the day visiting these places or perhaps you might enjoy spending the night in one to see if things really do ‘go bump in the night’. Or why not try an scary Halloween experience with a difference? |
