Where did HALLOWEEN BEGIN? The spooky holiday is believed to date back to ancient times in England and Ireland - not America, as most people think. November 1st was called All Souls’ Day and was considered the start of the New Year because summer was officially over.

In America, people began using pumpkins instead because they were easier to find and carve. People would…

That’s how every single Eras Show ended, except for the last one, where I exited through a door, an orange door to be specific. Basically, the reason why I chose to exit that way is because I kind of wanted to give a little subliminal hint…
