why do people make jack-o-lanterns and what does that have to do with Halloween? What does Halloween really mean as well, more like why is Halloween celebrated for and for what?

Dios de los Muertos..
Day of the Dead
Hispanica have traditions that the people who have passed away come up from the dead to visit the ones they left behind
The spanish decortated the graves and make big displays for the person and surounded it with food.
Then, their culture spread, and halmark besically took over
now we give kids candy and people try to scare eachother
the poineers had pumpkins/squash, ect and they grew in the fall.
the insde of a pumpkin has edible seeds, so they could eat those,
since hallowenn is supposed to be scary, people would carve faces into the pumpkins to use it up
