A Guide to Search Results for "Halloween" help - feedback - sponsor this guide
The vast majority of people who use the search term "halloween" are looking for
information about the Halloween holiday. However, there are a significant number of people
who are looking for information about the Halloween horror movies. Moreover, a significant
number of people are looking for the Halloween Documents, an annotated collection of
confidential Microsoft memos so named because of the time frame during which they were compiled.
These documents brought Microsoft's questionable business practices under intense scrutiny from
the press. The holiday of Halloween has its roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain, which was
first celebrated on the eve of November 1st hundreds of years before the birth of Christ.
November 1st was the first day of the Celtic calendar, marking the end of summer and the
beginning of winter. The Celts believed that this earthly transition of the seasons blurred
the barriers between the world of the living and the dead, and that the ghosts of the dead
returned to earth on Halloween. The modern holiday of Halloween, albeit a secular celebration centered on families and children, still has strong ties to ancient beliefs about the
supernatural, visibly demonstrated by the wearing of Halloween costumes, and some fundamentalist Christians object to Halloween celebrations on the grounds
that such celebrations are nothing more than not-so-thinly disguised Satanic worship.
