*spoopy intensifies* guess what starts tomorrow guys! I'm sorry, I just couldn't wait to put out my first spoopy tolter xD

**Edit**
I've decided to adjust the rules with the spoopy tolters a bit. They can breed together, but you would have to breed two spoopy totlers together in order for a foal to have any halloween theme to it. Breeding a spoopy tolter and a regular tolter will result in a foal that does not inherit any 'spooky' or 'halloween' type markings. Only direct offspring of spoopy tolters will inherit spooky markings, meaning that grand-foals, great-grand-foals, etc. will not have spooky markings.

At the beginning of the Christian era in Britain, when the ways of Pagans were still widely accepted, Christians wanted to incorporate some of the Pagan traditions of Samhain into their own religion in an effort to convert the practicing Pagans. Samhain was the beginning of the dark half of the year and was celebrated on what later became known as All Soul’s Day. The name of this holiday has undergone reconstruction throughout the centuries, changing to All Hollow’s Evening, All Hollow’s Even, All Hollow’s Eve, and finally Halloween.

This Pagan celebration was a way of saying farewell to days of sunlight and to prepare for the days of darkness and cold weather. Large bonfires were held and it was believed that the spirits of the dead could return to the earth on this day because it is the darkest and the veil between this world and the hereafter is the thinnest.

It is during these times that it is thought that the Soul Cakes supposedly came into being. There are many variations to the origin of Soul Cakes. Some say that Soul Cakes were baked upon a bonfire as a means of lottery. But this was no ordinary lottery. If you chose the burnt cake you became the human sacrifice that ensured your people had a prosperous crop during the following year. Others claim that the cakes were thrown about the land in an effort to appease evil spirits curse to wander the land in animal form.

No one quite knows the absolute origin of the cakes, but by the eighth century this tradition became a household practice in a very different way. Many Christians at the time (and in modern times) believed in Purgatory, the stage of waiting between Heaven and Hell. Purgatory is thought to be less torturous as Hell but not exactly pleasant. It is believed that the offering of prayers for a soul that is trapped in Purgatory will bring about a saving grace. If enough prayers were offered up, that soul would pass into Heaven.

Enter the tradition of Soul Cakes. The poor and destitute would travel from door to door asking for food in exchange for prayers. Each cake would represent a prayer for a departed soul stuck in Purgatory (hence, the name “Soul Cake”.) This tradition spread rapidly and eventually morphed into what is now modern day trick or treating.

-The only case of poisoned Halloween candy was from a father who tried to kill his children to collect life insurance. No kid has every received a poisoned applied or razor blade by trick-or-treating.

-The practice of carving Jack-o'-lanterns comes from an Irish myth about a man called "Stingy Jack" who loved to trick the Devil. One of Stingy Jack's better tricks was to convince the Devil to turn into a coin, so Jack wouldn't have to pay for a drink. Well, eventually the Devil got fed up with Jack's tricks and wouldn't let him into Hell, forcing him to roam the Earth for eternity with a Hellish lump of coal inside a turnip to light his way. Eventually, Stingy Jack became Jack-o'-lantern.

Last year, a couple days after Halloween, a mail carrier was making his rounds when he saw what looked like a fairly realistic dead body on a porch. Given the time of year, he decided that it was simply been a Halloween decoration and went on his way without reporting it. He was horrified when he later discovered it was actually the body of a man that had collapsed just hours prior.

fact
the actual phrase “trick-or-treat” likely has much more modern origins. some suggest that the phrase began in america in the early 20th century with the arrival of irish immigrants who brought their mischief along with them. to combat pranks and other mischief by poor children, people suggested offering treats to them as a small bribe. for this reason, in its early days, halloween was often known as “beggars’ night.”

fact: Halloween evolved from the ancient Celtic holiday of Samhain, modern Halloween has become less about literal ghosts and ghouls and more about costumes and candy. The Celts used the day to mark the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, and also believed that this transition between the seasons was a bridge to the world of the dead. Over the millennia the holiday transitioned from a somber pagan ritual to a day of merriment, costumes, parades and sweet treats for children and adults.
