1. What does "Halloween" means?

It's the eve of All Hallow's Day, or All Saint's Day.

it is the day souls are allowed to wander the earth, the celtics and the mexicans both heralded this holiday and celebrated it with festivities honoring the dead.
halloween, samhien, all hallows eve [hallow meaning holy, eve meaning night-hence a holy night]
it wasn't until the new land in america was formed and the illiterate, superstitious settlers here not understanding the true meaning of anothers culture turned it into a dark and sorbid affair. thus hideous crimes such as witch hunts and satanism was introduced by ignorance and fear drawn up from the path of evil and deeply distubed finger pointers.
day of the dead is also the honoring of dead souls wandering the earth. i don't believe they have ever had the bad controversy that the word halloween has brought forth in this country. i believe day of the dead is a very honored and cherished holiday

Excellent! Joker and Hallo! 1 for each.
