Did you know that Halloween is celebrated outside the United States? In many Spanish-speaking countries such as Mexico, Colombia, Spain, and parts of Central America, it is celebrated on October 31st.
Even in Spanish, it is often referred to as "Halloween", but also goes by the names Noche de Brujas (Night of Witches) or Noche de Difuntos (Night of the Deceased). Although it is generally considered a secular (or, non-religiously affiliated) celebration, it is followed by the cultural and religious celebration of "Día de los Muertos" (Day of the Dead) on November 1st in many countries.
