Halloween was cancelled in 1918 because of a flu pandemic that killed fifty to one hundred million people. With the current pandemic, the holiday may be cancelled this year. Los Angeles County has issued a formal guidance that recommends against trick-or-treating and bans outright haunted houses, festivals and other traditional festivities that would fall under current Covid-19 health guidelines. Safety first, everybody! There’s always the next year to come for celebrations!
