  "What is Halloween and where did it come from?" by Unknown
  
  Halloween today is defined by children going house to house on the night of October 31st, dressed up in a variety of costumes collecting treats. Although Halloween may seem like a time for children to have fun carving pumpkins and collecting candy, not many know the origins of this 'festival' and its traditions that date back centuries.
  
  The origins of Halloween date back to the time of the Celtics or 'Celts'.They were a group occupying the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Northern France about 2,000 years ago. This group celebrated
  their new year on November 1st. This day marked the end of the summer and was reflected upon as a time of darkness and cold as winter approached. The Celtics associated this dark time of year with death.All Rights Reserved

The King of Fright by b9marie7s

Everlyn 'Evie' Saliem loves Halloween and everything spooky, so she and two of her best friends, Ivy and Ania, visit the newest scare festival. Little did she know that the festival had unknowingly drawn the attention of the King of Fright himself. She runs into him throughout the night through sheer luck and manipulated circumstances without knowing who she's dealing with. What happens if the King of Fright turns his attention to Evie after Halloween has passed? Can she handle him and his ways? Can he cope with the human emotions? Can he hold onto his crown and hold onto the human who laughs when he scares her?

Dejah & Summer In The Time of Magic by WarrenBluhm

On an otherwise normal October day, my two golden retrievers, Dejah and Summer, began talking with me. The next thing I knew, all sorts of other magical things were happening. I began making a number of new friends - an elfin being, a dragon, a convocation of eagles, and a great buck and his family - and it soon became clear that something extremely unpleasant was heading our way on Halloween morning. It all came down to a great prophecy: "In the time of magic there will come a day when the dimensions merge and tongues are unlocked to a human. Be on watch against the Evil One on that day, lest it consume all in its path." October is the time of magic, growing in intensity until the last day of the month. Could Dejah, Summer, our new friends and I prevent the Evil One from doing his dastardly thing?

Thirty One Days by pennsword

As a way to better myself as a writer I've decided to challenge myself this October. This book will begin on October 1st and end of October 31st. Everyday I will push myself to write and publish a chapter. I honestly do not know where this book is going, what will happen, or how it will end. But that is a journey we can take together! Since this is the month of October there will be a spooky, Halloween spirit, twist to this story. This challenge was inspired by a friend of mine, who wants to better herself as an artist, participating in Gore-tober. I went searching for a writer's verse and, when I was unable to find one, I ended up creating one myself!

Back to the Plains by KristalKlearSky

What do you do when you are ripped from the only life you know? How do you move forward when you have nothing left to live for? Ali awakens one afternoon, dazed and injured in the middle of nowhere with no help in sight. She has no memory of this place, but it feels familiar. Staring death in the face, Ali is ready to give in, but God might have a plan for her after all. She finds herself crossing paths with a reenactment that confuses her as much as it intrigues her. She is suddenly surrounded by strangers who, in their foreign ways, want to help her. After a devastating loss in her past, Ali is skeptical of finding happiness regardless of her location. However, something about a pair of dark eyes captures her attention and she cannot seem to keep herself at a distance. He challenges her in ways she thought no one ever could and he gives her the safety she did not know she needed. With no one left to miss her back home, Ali creates a bond with those around her, while remembering the life she was taken from and the people she has lost. Is it possible to find something she did not know she longed for in such a strange place? Can Ali let go of her pain and allow herself to heal? What if it is all just a dream? What if it is not?

✔️Jack Skellington x Reader - Afraid by MaskedDragon533

Female reader! Completed! You loved Halloween with all of its spooks and scares until that dreadful Christmas Eve. You were nearly killed by creepy killer toys, but your sibling....

All Hallow's Eve | Aarmau AU | Halloween Special 2018 by LovableTabbyCat

First EVER completed story! Completed: November 7, 2018 Ω Ω Ω All Hallows' Eve began a millennia ago, when the seal between the living and the dead broke. The dead began to walk among us, seeking revenge against those who wronged them or even came close. Then, in rage they lashed out at innocents - children, too. The Phoenix coven - a group of witches native to a location in Ru'an that would soon be known as Phoenix Drop - created a new seal, but this being man made it had weak spots. They focused said weakness on one day of the year, where it would thin enough for travel between. However, the coven also set a law bound by nature that said evil spirits cannot enter land claimed by the living (such as homes). This kept them away, but on ground between they can do as much damage as they could have without the seal to people and life around them. So, people began leaving sweets, food, and gifts on their doorsteps. Soul cakes were given to the homeless to keep them in high spirits and to give to demons nearby if needed. The givings sated the spirits and they left the living be. That is, most of them. Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Inspired by and based on the true origins of Halloween. Words total: 23,147.
