We're less than a week away from Halloween. As of this writing, the October 31 forecast in most of Berkshire County is calling for rain. Hopefully it's not a complete washout. Still, the rain probably won't keep trick-or-treaters away from collecting candy and other goodies. If you're going out, consider bringing an umbrella just to be safe.

While Halloween is a fun opportunity to go trick-or-treating, make sure you follow safety tips, including:

  • Collect candy and treats in groups
  • Have an adult escort you through the evening's events (especially for younger children)
  • Make sure you have some bright/reflective colors on your costume so motorists can see you when crossing the street
  • Only trick-or-treat at houses that have lights on
  • Have an adult inspect your candy and treats before consuming.
  • Never accept a ride in a car or go inside a home unless it is a friend’s or family member's.

LOOK: How Halloween has changed in the past 100 years

Stacker compiled a list of ways that Halloween has changed over the last 100 years, from how we celebrate it on the day to the costumes we wear trick-or-treating. We’ve included events, inventions, and trends that changed the ways that Halloween was celebrated over time. Many of these traditions were phased out over time. But just like fake blood in a carpet, every bit of Halloween’s history left an impression we can see traces of today.
