Halloween Countdown
How long until Halloween? The countdown always shows the next date, so you can leave this page open.
How it works
The page counts down live to the date shown above, in days, hours, minutes and seconds. It also tells you the number of days, weeks and "sleeps" left, which children like. Use Fullscreen to show it on a screen or projector.
Halloween dates
Halloween is on October 31 every year. Its customs grew out of older autumn festivals and All Hallows' Eve, the night before All Saints' Day on November 1.
