One story about Jack,an Irishman,who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy with his money. So he was sent to hell. But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan),so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern.
Well,Irish children made Jack's lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip,hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside. And Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla. The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern"or "Jack of the lantern,"abbreviated as "Jack-o'-lantern"and now spelled "jack-o-lantern."

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31. By tradition,Halloween begins after sunset. Long ago,people believed that witches gathered together and ghosts roamed the world on Halloween. Today,most people no longer believe in ghosts and witches. But these supernatural beings are still a part of Halloween.
The colors black and orange are also a part of Halloween. Black is a symbol for night and orange is the color of pumpkins. A jack-o’-lantern is a hollowed-out pumpkin with a face carved on one side. Candles are usually placed inside,giving the face a spooky glow.

Popular Halloween costumes include vampires (creatures that drink blood),ghosts (spirits of the dead) and werewolves (people that turn into wolves when the moon is full).
