What is Spooktober? Definition:
Spooktober is a blend of the words "spooky" and "October".
Spooktober is a yearly celebration of Halloween (also called Samhain), an extended Halloween.
Spooktober is celebrated throughout the month of October, the 1st of the month being the most anticipated day and start of the "spooky season", beginning the countdown until Halloween on October 31st.
In recent years, as Spooktober has grown in popularity, many participants are also including the month of September in the spooky season, coinciding with the changing of the colour of leaves in the Northern Hemisphere in Fall (also called Autumn).
Spooktober revelers celebrate the spooky season by decorating their homes, embracing Fall weather, playing scary video games, reading macabre books, and most importantly, by watching spooky and scary horror movies.
