The network will also play a full day's worth of Tim Burton films for a marathon on Monday, Oct. 13. Here's a look at the full schedule and how to watch. Traditionally, the day gives children and adults alike the opportunity to transform into someone or something else. Trick-or-treaters and other participants don outfits, wigs and accessories to show off their disguises for the event. According to the Library of Congress, Halloween comes from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, a religious celebration to welcome the harvest at the end of summer. During the festival, people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. Later, in the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated Nov. 1 as All Saints Day, intending to incorporate Samhain festival traditions. The evening before All Saints Day became known as All Hallows Eve, and later, Halloween, per the Library of Congress.
