I am always suprised that it is just 1 day on October and it seems that is celebrated the whole month! And it is not even a Christian Holiday too.
I guess there isn't trully an explanation though right?

it was brought over by Irish, Scottish and Welsh immigrants and people just thought it was fun. it used to be a pagan religious thing, 2 thousand years ago. but now it's just a cultural thing that kept the party aspect but got rid of the religious parts

It's not celebrated for the whole month. Otherwise there are plenty of documentaries about it you could watch. The history is interesting, though, given that people mostly associate it with the Pagan and Christian roots.

All Hallows Eve literally is a Christian holiday. It's part of the Hallowtide.

Americans are fat and love the idea of free candy.
I suspect it took off a lot more once cars became commonplace and thus the amount of walking around involved dropped precipitously.

probably because of the great depression like all the other days off. They need a hoilday each month to drive sales.

Because there's a segment of the population that want an excuse to dress up in costumes, and they don't get to do that normally.

So in the end there isn't a clear answer. Thanks though.
