Halloween Trivia

halloween_trivia_1.jpg

It’s Halloween and Dinga is all dressed up for trick or treat. However, I forbid him to venture out alone tonight fearing someone might kidnap him; sometimes I feel that Dinga is just too cute for his own good.

We had a Halloween trivia quiz yesterday during my OB course; in fact, I got Dinga his cool skeleton spectacles from Professor Riznek as a Halloween present.

Here are some interesting Halloween trivia:

  • Mexico celebrates “The Day of the Dead” instead of Halloween.

  • Halloween is celebrated on the eve of All Saints Day.

  • Halloween originated from a festival celebrated by the Celts, an ancient European tribe.

  • Samhainophobia is an intense fear of Halloween.

  • In Scotland, turnips are traditionally carved into jack-o-lanterns.

  • Triskaidekaphobia is an irrational fear of the number 13.

  • Paraskavedekatriaphobia is a specific fear of Friday the 13th.
