Historians suggest that Halloween had its origin with the Celts who believed that, at this time of year, the border between this world and the netherworld became thin allowing both evil and good spirits to pass between the two worlds. Don't laugh - people today believe some really bizarre things (reference Thetans and Scientology)
In addition to being dubbed "Happy", somewhere in history Halloween also became a holiday - meaning holy, set apart. It is certainly holy and set apart if you happen to be a member of the Satanic Church. Halloween is considered the high holy day for Satan worshipers. It is a day for animal sacrifice, suspected human sacrifice, and orgiastic rituals to Satan.
By the way, enjoy your candy!
