Halloween is marked as the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter or the 'darker half' of the year.
Hallowe'en is believed to derive from the very ancient festival of Samhain which was to celebrate the eve of the Celtic New Year (October 31).
In various traditions Hallowe'en is often believed to be the meeting time of spirits/ghosts of the dead and that this is their last chance to meet before the winter closes in.
It is also an important night in some witchcraft calendars and so perhaps this explains why it is said to be the most haunted night of the year.
The traditional Halloween colors of orange and black actually stem from the pagan celebration of autumn and the harvest, with orange symbolizing the colors of the crops and turning leaves, while black marks the "death" of summer and the changing season. Over time, green, purple and yellow have also been introduced into the color scheme of Halloween decorations.
