Countdown to Halloween
Saturday, October 31, 2026About the countdown to Halloween
Halloween traces back to Samhain, the ancient festival marking the end of the harvest and the start of the darker half of the year.
Costumes, candy and decorations add up to billions in spending every October, and most of that shopping happens in the final two weeks before the night itself.
The counter above reads from your device clock and refreshes every second, so the days, hours, minutes and seconds always reflect the time remaining right now. When Halloween arrives, the page quietly moves its target to the following year so the countdown never runs out of road.
