CNN associates Halloween as being a season, as nowadays Halloween complementary events and celebrations beginning weeks before the actual Holiday, much like Christmas.

Now the holiday is morphing into an entire season, at least in the tourism industry, with haunted walks, costume balls and pumpkin-carving events held throughout October. Some even start in early September, like Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at Disney World, which starts September 5 — just four days after Labor Day. In 2004, the same event at Disney World started October 1.
