How to use the halloween countdown
The countdown starts automatically for the next October 31 in your local time zone. Choose a different zone or year, or set a custom time for a party on Halloween.
Halloween's calendar date is October 31. Local trick-or-treat events may take place at other times or on a different day. This page does not publish local event schedules; use the general countdown for an event on another date.
Does the countdown end when trick-or-treating begins?
By default it ends at the start of October 31. Select Custom celebration time to target your own plans on that date. Check local arrangements separately.
How does this countdown keep time?
It uses TimeCubby's server-time synchronization and advances locally between checks. The synchronization status tells you when NTP is unavailable or the connection is stale. Time-zone conversion uses your browser's time-zone rules; keep the browser updated. A one-time event link preserves its exact instant. Holiday, recurring and New Year setups calculate their next dates from the rules you chose.
Will I receive a reminder?
No email or push reminder is sent. An optional sound can play when a visible, open page crosses a target. It cannot be relied on when the browser is closed, the device sleeps or sound is blocked. Calendar export creates 30-minute markers; review their duration and reminder settings in your calendar. Recurring exports contain only the previewed dates.
