And for children, Halloween holds a special place in their collective hearts. It's the one day out of the year when they are encouraged to dress up as their favorite super hero or cartoon character. Parties are thrown, doorbells are rung, and let's not forget the Holy Grail of the children's Halloween quest - candy. And lots of it.
The Reporter hit the streets recently to see how local residents were gearing up for the holiday.
