HISTORY OF HALLOWEEN

• Straddling the line between fall and winter,
  plenty and paucity, life and death, Halloween is
  a time of celebration and superstition. It is
  thought to have originated with the ancient
  Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would
  light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off
  roaming ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope
  Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to
  honor all saints and martyrs the holiday, All
  Saints Day, incorporated some of the traditions
  of Samhain. The evening before was known as All
  Hallows Eve and later Halloween. Over time,
  Halloween evolved into a secular, community-based
  event characterized by child-friendly activities
  such as trick-or-treating. In a number of
  countries around the world, as the days grow
  shorter and the nights get colder, people
  continue to usher in the winter season with
  gatherings, costumes and sweet treats.

• Thriller (Michael Jackson) is a modern song
•  
• It's close to midnight and something evil's
  lurking in the dark Under the moonlight you see
  a sight that almost stops your heart You try to
  scream but terror takes the sound before you make
  it You start to freeze as horror looks you right
  between the eyes You're paralyzed 'Cause this
  is thriller, thriller night And no one's gonna
  save you from the beast about to strike You know
  it's thriller, thriller night You're fighting
  for life inside a killer, thriller tonight You
  hear a door slam and realize there's nowhere left
  to run You feel the cold hand and wonder if
  you'll ever see the sun You close your eyes and
  hope that this is just imagination But all the
  while you hear the creature creepin' up
  behind You're out of time ....

• The Story Go into a room with a mirror and turn
  all the lights off. Bathrooms seem to be perfect
  for this since they almost always have a mirror
  and are usually dark at night with the lights off
  and the door closed. Light a candle, look into
  the mirror, start chanting "Bloody Mary" . You
  have to do this  13 times, of course. You should
  see Bloody Mary behind your left shoulder after
  the thirteenth time.
• Beware, she has been reported to 1.) Kill the
  person calling her, 2.) Scratch their eyes out,
  3.) Drive the person mad or 4.) pull the person
  into the mirror with her. This is an old legend,
  it has been around for ages. A folklorist,  Janet
  Langlois, published an essay on the legend back
  in 1978. At that time, the legend was wide spread
  across the USA and a popular slumber party ritual
  done by girls as well as boys.  No one knows the
  true origins of the Bloody Mary tale, she's been
  known to be anything from a witch that was killed
  for practicing witchcraft to a modern day woman
  killed in a car crash, depending on what part of
  the country you live in. It was made popular
  again in the film Urban Legends in 1999.
