Halloween. For most people, it’s a fun, lighthearted celebration with spooky decorations, ghost stories, and a chance to dress up as anything they want. But have you ever stopped and wondered, "What does Halloween actually mean?" And, more specifically, "Does Halloween have any meaning in the Bible?"

That’s what this article is about. We’re going to look at Halloween from a different angle—not just as a night of costumes and candy, but as something to think about through a biblical lens. Now, you won’t find Halloween mentioned by name in the Bible, so don’t bother flipping through to look for it. But the themes Halloween touches on—like spirits, darkness, and the afterlife—do have some connections to what’s written in the Scriptures.

In this article, we'll take you on a simple journey to explore how Halloween started. We'll see what the Bible says about similar ideas, and why some Christians might be cautious about celebrating it. No complex terms, no heavy theology—just an easy-to-understand look at Halloween and how it fits (or doesn’t fit) with biblical teachings.
