What's the night before Halloween called? If you said anything other than "Pumpkin night" I'm afraid you are incorrect.
I mean, that's better than my "All Hollows Eve Eve", by far.
Mischief Night
Edit: it's called that because it's when the local ne'er-do-wells do mischief
2nd Edit: I should clarify that where I come from, Mischief Night also occurs on the 4th November, so we get to double dip, so to speak
"October 30th" around here. Theres nothing special about that day.
What happens on "pumpkin night"?
Everywhere else it's either called Mischief night or... nothing. But in some small parts of Western Massachusetts it's called Pumpkin Night because... reasons!
Its called devils night where I was born.
Michigander?
You got it! I'll take a nice cold pop as well!
Traditionally, its for the older kids who have aged out of halloween. Its unofficial and many places just dont tolerate it anymore but the older kids would go around smashing pumpkins and causing mayhem, maybe teepee a tree.
We didnt participate but would bring in our pumpkins that night.
