About Halloween
Halloween is October 31, the eve of All Saints' Day, with roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain. Costumes, trick-or-treating, and carved pumpkins spread from Ireland and Scotland to North America in the 19th century. It is not a public holiday, so this countdown ends at midnight local time at the start of the 31st.
How this countdown works
The target is the next occurrence of Halloween from today, computed with the IANA time zone database so the date is right even across daylight saving changes. The clock counts down to midnight at the start of that day in your own time zone, and once the day passes it rolls forward to the following year automatically. Need a different moment? Build a custom countdown to any date and time.
