I'm not too much into the Halloween Spirit ~ The gruesome, grotesque, and things that mock evil no longer hold an appeal, in the spirit of protecting children and sticking to my Christian beliefs. Thanks for allowing me an honest answer! B : )

Scary Halloween Trivia 2

Lycanthropy is a term derived from Greek. It means a psychiatric state in which the patient believes he or she is a wolf.
The "jack-o-lantern" gets that name from a mean old man named Jack who was too mean even to get into hell. The Devil gave him a piece of burning coal and sent him away. Jack used a turnip to hold the burning coal and serve as a lantern.
Halloween was formerly known as All Hallow's Eve.
The word warlock is a derivation of the Saxon-English term "war-loek" which means oath breaker.
The Celtics would carry a lantern when they walked on the eve of October 31st. These first "jack-o-lanterns" were carved with faces to scare evil spirits away. They used turnips not pumpkins for those original jack-o-lanterns.
