26th. Make it safer for kids and everyone and just move it to a weekend

31st. This would be incredibly bad and confusing and won't make sense for the holiday.

Halloween Celebrations could be moved to the last Saturday of OCTOBER after an online petition gained traction of more than 120,000 signatures as the Organizers hope the date change will lead to a "safe, longer, stress free celebration" for kids and parents as it appears Donald Trupm will make a "formal decision" to move the date.

It was set up by a non for profit the Halloween & Costume Association as they believe it will make it more safe and less rushed than when it falls on a school night as they fear pedophiles and violence will roam the night if parents can't take their kids trick or treating because it's a school and work night

The National Safety Council reported that twice as many children are likely to be hit by a car or killed on Halloween than any other day of the year

According to change.org, there are 3800 Halloween related injuries each year and 51% of millennials cite the holiday as their favourite

The page said "Why cram it to 2 rushed evening weekday hours when it deserves a full day!"

65% of parents don't discuss Halloween safety with their kids and 70% don't accompany them

Around 83% don't incorporate high visibility aids into their costumes and 63% of children do not carry a flashlight.

If it passes after reaching the White House, Halloween will be on the 26th of October instead of Thursday on the 31st

One supporter, chocolate maker Snickers has vowed to give out 1 MILLION free candy bars in America if successful

The date for this marked the end of summer and the beginning of the dark, cold winter associated with death

October 31, the divide between the world of the dead and the living became blurred allowing ghosts to pass through to earth

Many have supported this such as Howard Beige who said "Halloween Trick or Treating for children would be much safer if celebrated during daylight hours, which can only happen on non school days like Saturday"

But others were outraged as one said "Don't ya'll DARE and try and "change the date" of #Halloween. You can't. The universe won't let you. So don't bother"

Do you think Halloween should be on the 26th or 31st?

Let's also move Christmas because the 25th doesn't fall on a Tuesday! How about moving the 4th of July to the 8th of July.

This is fucking stupid...

I thought they tried to keep it away from the weekends to make it safer for kids? Also I thought this was a local thing, not a national thing.

It's more like nobody does Trick or Treating anymore, Halloween is quite popular with adults especially in Japan.

There's a "date of Halloween" dial right next to the "price of gas" lever.

Since this is all about kids' safety, if they eliminate it, there would be 0 Halloween related injuries.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but officially wouldn't Congress have to change the date? Even then they would have to make it an official holiday to do so.

Does that mean theyll move daylight savings day back to October, since they only moved it to November to make more money selling candy on Halloween...?

Honestly, I'd rather have that changed than the Halloween thing.

They moved it one week. One freaking week. Why?! At least the start of DST was moved like 3 weeks. That's significant. But the end moving 1 week? BS.

I told you why! It was literally because of lobbying by the candy companies so they would have 1 extra hour of daylight to sell candy before the kids went out trick or treating.

No, get rid of standard time, make DST permanent.

We spend 7 months in DST, and 5 months in "standard" time. Which one of those sounds like the actual standard? lol

Also this. DST is the superior daylight spread to Standard time. Just stop switching the clocks
