I think you may be looking for the term "Grand Coven" -- and maybe you're not -- but that's something else. Different witches and covens call their Halloween (AKA "Samhain") gatherings and reunions different things. Here are various names for this sabbat: Third Harvest, Samana, Day of the Dead, Old Hallowmas, Vigil of Saman, Shadowfest (Strega), and Samhuinn. Also known as All Hallow's Eve, (that day actually falls on November 7th), and Martinmas (that is celebrated November 11th), Samhain is now generally considered the Witch's New Year.

There is the Witch's Sabbath.
There are four commonly used dates throughout the year:
February 2 (New Sabbath / Spring Sabbath)
May 1 (Great Sabbath / Walpurgis Night),
August 1 (Lammas),
October 31 / November 1 (Halloween)

Halloween is, in witch circles, known as Samhain, or the witches' new year. It is a celebration of the fall harvest and the "crone" aspect of the goddess.

A sabbat.
More specifically, this particular sabbat is known to the Celts as Samhain, which is Gaelic for 'Summer's End'. It's the Celtic new year.

real "witches" don't celebrate Halloween, persay.. the holiday is called "Samhain" and it celebrates the harvest season. It is recognized as the wiccan new year.

I think it's a TV show called the View - and you spelled it wrong, it starts with a "B".
