What is Halloween?
Halloween takes place on the 31 October every year and is celebrated in lots of different parts of the world.
In some countries, like the USA, Halloween is taken very seriously with big displays, lots of pumpkins and plenty of spooky costumes.
And many homes here in the UK also decide to decorate their houses, both on the outside and the inside.

There's definitely lots of fun things to do for Halloween and we totally get people might be excited for it to start.
But is it too early, even for the biggest spooky season fans?
What do YOU think? Is it too early for Halloween decorations and costumes to be in the shops? Or is it never to early to plan for Halloween?
