- 10/31, or Halloween—traditionally a time to reflect, a time of divination, and a time to honor the ancients. But Phoebe's plans to communicate with her ancestors are cut short when she's recruited to help reunite a star-crossed, magical couple.
- During Samhain the people of Camelot would prepare a feast to mourn their deceased and those who had departed this life. The feast would be preceded by a speech from the current ruler before a toast. As for the practitioners of the Old Religion, the High Priestesses would gather on the Isle of the Blessed where they would sacrifice a living human to tear the Veil between the worlds of the living and the dead, unleashing evil magical creatures into this universe. The sacrifice would unleash a vast deal of mystical power into the world which sorceresses could tap into for a limited time (The Darkest Hour).
- Samhain ist das keltische Fest der Besinnung und der Einkehr. Zusammen mit Imbolc, Beltane und Lughnasadh gehört es zu den vier großen keltischen Jahresfesten. Es war vom 31. Oktober bis zum 2. November das wichtigste Fest der Kelten und galt nach dem Kalender von Coligny, wie der Monat samoni, als Beginn des keltischen Jahres. Es markiert ebenso den Beginn des Winterhalbjahres und das Neujahr der Hexen. Als Mondfest wurde es am 11. Neumond im Kalenderjahr begangen.

- Samhain is celebrated October 31st, Halloween. This is the parting from our God, yet knowing that it is only a brief separation as he will be born again from the Goddess at the Winter Solstice. We use this day to meditate, honor the dead and let their memories live. The altar is decorated with Pumpkins, Photos of our departed loved ones, fall flowers and nuts. Sacrifices are apples, nuts and cranberry muffins with apple wine or mulled wine. Incense consists of nutmeg, sage or mint. Usually there is also a dark mirror on the altar which allows for contacting the departed. If we have a question for a departed one, we concentrate on the mirror during the ritual, the answer comes the next night in a dream. After the holiday, the leftovers remain behind for the ghosts.

- The night of Samhain, in Irish, Oíche Shamhna and Scots Gaelic, Oidhche Shamhna, is one of the principal festivals of the Celtic calendar, and falls on the 31st of October. It represents the final harvest. In modern Ireland and Scotland, the name by which Halloween is known in the Gaelic language is still Oíche/Oidhche Shamhna. It is still the custom in some areas to set a place for the dead at the Samhain feast, and to tell tales of the ancestors on that night. (Wikipedia)
- The entity that calls itself Samhain (pronounced: 'SAH-win') is a primordial force of pure fear who has based itself around the celebrations of the holidays that bare similarities to All Hallow's Eve (or Halloween). It is usually harmless if the ancient superstitions of the holiday are obeyed but will occasionally see fit to torment humans for either defying the rules or usually for its own amusement. It can take many forms and can put numerous humans or animals under its mind control. A favourite form would be either a thick orange mist or a pumpkin-headed wraith.
- Samhain (the proper pronunciation is sow-en, but the series pronounces the name the way it is spelled) is the Ghost of Halloween and one of the few villains to face the Ghostbusters on more than one occasion. He is a strategic ghost with the ability to manipulate time in order to cause eternal night. Samhain also has the ability to control legions of ghosts at his command, however certain ghosts such as Slimer seem able to resist him to a certain extent.

- Samhain is a ritual that can only be built once, and only by the Illians. It is the first of the Illian winter rituals. When built, it spawns Barbarian-aligned Frostlings, Frostling Archers, Frostling Wolf Riders, and the powerful Frostling leader, Mokka, on the map. Because these Frostlings are Barbarians, they will attack anyone - even the Illians that released them. To build Samhain, the Illians must have at least four cities under their control. Samhain has a construction cost of 200 Image:Production.gif.
- Samhain, also known as the origin of Halloween, is a powerful and special demon of Hell, who can only rise when summoned by two powerful witches through three blood sacrifices over three days, that last day on the final harvest, Halloween. Once Samhain has risen, he is able to raise ghosts, zombies, ghouls and unleash them onto the Earth.
- Samhain (sa-WIN) is a Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest. It's a day most celebrators believe is a day that the dead can return to earth provided by the thinned veil between the worlds. Many Pagans around the world like to hold rituals in rememberance of the dead--this may include family members, friends or even pets.
- Sam's name originates from Samhain, the origins of Halloween itself. He is depicted as a child dressed in a Halloween costume, which consists of an orange set of pajamas, and a mask made of a burlap sack with buttons for eyes. Sam drags a dirty sack around with him throughout the film, but its contents are unknown, presumably candy; Although the blood stains on the sack and the cat screeches that are occasionally heard from it strongly suggest otherwise. Despite his childlike appearance, it is established that Sam is more demonic than he appears, hiding a pumpkin-shaped head resembling a skull. Dougherty described Sam's head as a cross "between an embryo and a pumpkin". Quinn Lord, who plays Sam in the film, described his character as being a demon who was born in a pumpkin patch.
- Thousands of years ago, even long before the beginning of time, Samhain was once a mortal man, but he insulted the gods and was sentenced to rule the Underworld for all eternity. He was left mateless, robbed of sleep, robbed of movement, and robbed of companionship. Bound to a throne near the Sea of Souls. He became an evil, wicked being without emotion who judges all souls who come before him, and it is a job he is to hold until the end of time. Samhain judges the spirits that come to his realm, deciding what next stage of the afterlife will be for each one.
- Samhain wurde ursprünglich am 11. Neumond des Jahres gefeiert. Es ist das Fest der Toten, das 3. und letzte Erntefest und der Jahreswechsel der Kelten. Später wurde das Datum auf den 31. Okt. fixiert. Auch die Christianisierung konnte die alten Riten und Bräuche an diesem magischen Tag nicht ausrotten, so wurde es einfach umgedeutet und von der Kirche als "ihr" Feiertag übernommen. 834 wurde "Allerheiligen" vom Mai auf den 1. Nov. verlegt. Im Jahr 988 führte die Kirche zusätzlich "Allerseelen" am 2. Nov. ein. Das ursprüngliche Samhain geriet in Vergessenheit und wurde in Amerika wiederentdeckt und wird seither als "Halloween" gefeiert. Dass das Halloween von heute mit dem spirituellen Fest der Kelten nicht mehr viel gemein hat erübrigt sich fast zu erwähnen. Einige heidnische Gruppierungen
