[[File:Pumpkin carved.jpg|thumb|Carved pumpkin.]]In the [[United States]], Halloween is known for trick-or-treating. This traditionally involves children dressing in costumes and going to various locations, generally houses, requesting candy at each.  Contrary to numerous urban legends about children receiving poisoned candy, only one case of such has ever been reported, and it involved a Texas father poisoning his own son for insurance money.

Colors orange and black are associated with Halloween as well as costumes of witches, ghosts, famous monsters, skeletons, and devils. Seasonal foods include caramel apples, pumpkins, pumpkin pie, caramel corn, and candies. Black commonly represents death. Orange represents the harvest and reflects the influence of Samhain.
