Halloween is Celebrated, Dodgers Take Home 8th World Series Title, Shaun White and Nina Dobrev Announce Engagement, National Car

Halloween is celebrated today.

Happy Halloween!

Observed yearly on October 31, this spooky holiday dates back over 2,000 years.

Originally celebrated as Samhain, a Gaelic festival to honor the dead, Halloween has evolved greatly throughout the years, later becoming known as All-Hallows Eve when All Saints' Day was declared in 609 AD, and then eventually becoming the Halloween we all know today.

Modern day Halloween is known for costumes, candy, trick or treating, scary movies, and pumpkins, and has become a beloved fall festival for adults and children alike.

Celebrate today by dressing up in your own creative costume, handing out candy to trick or treaters in your own neighborhood, and curling up on your couch with a spooky movie to end the night.

Los Angeles Dodgers clinch 2024 World Series win in 5 games, defeating New York Yankees.

Last night in the fifth and final game of what would have been a seven game series, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees to earn their 8th championship win in franchise history.

This was the first World Series win for the Dodgers since their last title in 2020.

First baseman Freddie Freeman was named the series MVP, unsurprisingly after he ended game one with the first ever World Series walk off grand slam, homered in each of the first four games, and tied the record for most runs driven in by a single player during a championship series.

The team will travel back to LA from New York to celebrate with fans during the annual championship parade on Friday.

Shaun White and Nina Dobrev are engaged after 5 years together.

The couple shared the big news on social media Wednesday posting photos from the elaborate moment when White got down on one knee and popped the question.

White and Dobrev first began dating in 2019 before later going public with their relationship in 2020.

The two reportedly moved in together at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and have been going strong ever since.

According to an interview with Vogue, the 35-year-old actress was completely surprised by White's proposal, which took place at New York City restaurant, The Golden Swan, after he had her publicist forward her a fake invitation for an CFDA/Vogue dinner with Anna Wintour, which she happily accepted.

National Caramel Apple Day is celebrated.

October 31 is also National Caramel Apple Day.

Regularly snacked on at carnivals and fairs, caramel apples are a delightful fall treat that are extremely easy to make at home.

Also referred to as 'Candy Apples,' this delicious dessert is made by skewering an apple on a stick and dipping it into melted caramel before freezing.

You can also sprinkle the sticky coating with other toppings such as nuts, chocolate, crushed pretzels, or other candies.

In today's birthday news: Actress Lee Grant 99, journalist Dan Rather 93, actress Deidre Hall 77, journalist Jane Pauley 74, U2 drummer Larry Mullen Jr. 63, actor Dermot Mulroney 61, guitarist Johnny Marr 61, The Beastie Boys' Adam 'Ad-Rock' Horovitz 58, actress Piper Perabo 48, actor John Candy would be 74.
