The entire world celebrates Halloween night or a version of it in all cultures under different names. Same principle-the time, poised between the darkness and the light, the veil thins between the living and the dead.
Each hard Halloween trivia question will test your knowledge of the surprising customs and ideas that come with all the Halloween celebrations and treats we associate with All Saints’ Eve. Fans of Harry Potter must surely know what a Hallow is and why it is significant.
Trivia quizzes are an amusing way to break the ice at parties, and if you are planning a modest event this holiday, these fun Halloween quiz questions (with answers) will get your guests talking and laughing.
When you look at the Halloween tradition, there are so many things to understand; until you look back and how it was. Why do we dress up and wear masks? Is it to scare our neighbours into giving us more Halloween candy and prevent them from knowing who plays trick or treating?
Round Orange Pumpkins came to Europe in the 16th Century, so why is pumpkin carving such a big thing at Halloween? Who was Pumpkin Jack? When you start to ask questions, you find out how many trivial things you have just accepted how things are around Halloween.
Fun Halloween Facts
Take trivia quizzes themselves, Halloween trivia quizzes, board games, and pub quizzes-when did that all start? The trivia quiz isn’t that old-1965, but its popularity endures. Most people find it funny to drag out half-remembered trivia they once read or dreamed about, and others to misquote Winnie the Pooh are “extraordinarily good guessers.”
Our spooky trivia facts cover popular modern Halloween culture and a sprinkling of surprising trivia about Halloween lore, history and legends. It’s suitable for all ages and is an enjoyable activity to do in between the merriment and festivities.
Finally, why are there so many apple-related games at Halloween? Is it because apples are cheap and plentiful at that time of year? Is it because it is a forbidden fruit that led to the original sin and our fall from grace?
As with so many other customs like knocking on wood (to appease the tree gods), it is the remains of bygone times. The Roman goddess Pomona, a deity of fruits and had a festivity near the end of October, and it is that celebration that gives us all those apple activities.
Halloween is a fun and popular blend of overlapping histories and customs. Echoes change from paganism to Christianity, magical practice, fertile fruity goddesses, crop festivals, and sinful sweet tooth indulgences. Halloween, All Hallows night, has it all.
