I think i can answer the halloween one.
Halloween's origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in). It is the time between Samhain (pronounced "Sow-in" in Ireland, Sow-een in Wales, "Sav-en" in Scotland or even "Sam-haine" in non Gaelic speaking countries) and Brigid's Day "the period of little sun." Thus, Samhain is often named the "Last Harvest" or "Summer's End". The Earth nods a sad farewell to the God. No actually it was a day to honor to the dead.. Like they do in Mexico I believe. I'm not sure about the number 666 I just believe its a number. No halloween is not a devil holiday and wasn't created by the devil. it actually older than time.

Origins of Halloween go way back to pre.Christianity when our Celtic ancestors worshiped nature spirits such as the fire the earth the moon etc all these were done to enchance fertility or a good harvest a better plentyful new season etc.
With and just after the Romans leaving Briton and the rest of Europe came Christianity with all the fire and brimstone heaven and hell devils and demons.
Pagan worship of All Hallows Eve ///Halloween was incorporated into the Christian faith which we still see today.
In many Churches here and also in the USA you will get harvest festival every summer celebrating the successful harvest of the land and good fortune.
Harvest festival like halloween was Christianised from early pagan origin.
As for 666 >>>>The book of revalation The number of the beast.
Im not a religious fanatic but the truth is halloween pranks and trick or treats....Yes all started centuries ago by kids just wanting to have some fun.

Pagans made Hallos eve to respect there dead. On through time we humans changed it to what it is.
2) I've heard theres a Bible reference to the devil having 6 fingars and theres a old movie remade where a little boy has a 666 in his hair. He's like the devils son.
3) I don't believe in posssetion like in the movies. Thats just another foolish idea like witchcraft being real.
