It’s the time of year when all the ghosts and goblins, witches and monsters, superheroes and villains don their Halloween best and head off to trick-or-treat, party or walk through a haunted house.

We talk to a psychologist and a haunted attraction specialist about these issues, and also take a look at where some of our Halloween traditions came from. Learn more about your ad choices.
