What is a Jack-o-lantern?

• In a distant Halloween night, a rowdy reputation
  for drunken Irishman named Jack, had the
  misfortune to meet with the devil in a tavern.
  Despite the alcohol ingested, Jack was able to
  fool the devil offering his soul in exchange for
  one last drink. The devil was transformed into a
  coin to pay the waiter, but cheap-Jack-fed
  quickly took it and put it in her purse (which
  was engraved with a cross), so the devil could
  not return to its original form and not Jack let
  him go until he promised not to ask for your soul
  in 10 years. The devil had no choice but to grant
  his claim.
• Now children remember him making a moster face
  using a pumpking and putting a candle inside.

What is trick or treat?

• Trick-or-treating is a customary celebration for
  children on Halloween. Children go in costume
  from house to house, asking for treats such as
  candy or sometimes money, with the question,
  "Trick or treat?" The word "trick" refers to a
  (mostly idle) "threat" to perform mischief on the
  homeowners or their property if no treat is
  given. In some parts of Scotland children still
  go guising. In this custom the child performs
  some sort of trick, i.e. sings a song or tells a
  ghost story, to earn their treats.

Explain a game played In Halloween

• One common game is dunking or apple bobbing, in
  which apples float in a tub or a large basin of
  water and the participants must use their teeth
  to remove an apple from the basin.
• A variant of dunking involves kneeling on a
  chair, holding a fork between the teeth and
  trying to drop the fork into an apple.
• Another common game involves hanging up treacle
  or syrup-coated scones by strings these must be
  eaten without using hands while they remain
  attached to the string, an activity that
  inevitably leads to a very sticky facen
