Halloween creeps closer next week, so today, we're sharing spooky fun facts before recapping last week's posts from DBuzz.

First up – the first U.S. city to host Halloween was Anoka, Minnesota in 1920! They threw a city-wide Halloween party to deter young pranksters. It was so successful that Congress named Anoka the "Halloween Capital of the World". Boo-tiful! Source

Here's a frightening phobia: samhainophobia is the fear of Halloween, stemming from the ancient Celtic festival Samhain that marked summer's end. To any samhainophobes, don't worry – we don't bite!

Finally, many animal shelters don't adopt black cats near Halloween for fear of ritual sacrifice. So if you see a black kitty, shower them with cuddles, not curses! source

Hope those fear-filled facts put you in the spooky spirit! Now, scroll down to catch up on all things DBuzz before carving your Halloween pumpkins. Reading our roundup is way less terrifying than facing samhainophobia!

Whether you're dressing as a ghost, ghoul, or goblin, have a happy Halloween next week. Our treat is gathering all our creepy articles in one place – no tricks! Now, let's see what the buzz was last week. Sugar and scares to you all! πŸ¬πŸŽƒ

Samhainophobia? Nah, no samhainophobia here!
