Halloween originated somewhere near Ireland, and was a day to dress up and scare away evil spirits. This day is on October 31st and that is when they thought the spirits came out. That is why we dress up. Dia de los Muertos is a day where you want the spirits to come out. The traditions come from  the Aztecs.  The spirits would be friends or family who have passed, but this is not a sad day, but a day of celebration. This starts on October 31st, but is celebrated November 1st and 2nd.
