Halloween has pagan and religious roots, and is celebrated by both Christians and non-Christians. The holiday's origins can be traced back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which was celebrated on November 1st. The Celts believed that the boundary between the living and the dead was especially thin on this day, allowing people to connect with the dead. 

Halloween spread to the United States through Irish immigrants who left Europe during the Potato Famine. The custom of carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns is thought to have come about when the Irish and Scottish immigrants found native pumpkins in America and realized they were easier to carve than turnips
