What day is the day before Halloween?

The night before Halloween, also known as Halloween Eve.
The "Hallow" in its English name comes from the Middle English "halween", which is very close to the etymology of "holy". In some areas of Scotland and Canada, All Saints' Day is still called "Allhallowmas", which means the Mass held on the day to commemorate all saints (All Hallows).
Halloween is a traditional festival of Western Christianity. But unlike Halloween, most Christians believe that Halloween has no important religious significance and only regard it as an ordinary "festival."
As Halloween gradually evolved into a commercial festival and became increasingly popular through business, Halloween celebrations also became popular in Eastern Christian-dominated countries and even in the non-Christian world.

Is it scarier than Halloween?

Yes, the night before Halloween is the most haunted time of the year, with all kinds of monsters, ghosts, pirates, alien visitors and witches coming out. Before the Christian era, the Celts held ceremonies in late summer to thank God and the sun for their blessings. The fortune tellers of the time lit candles and performed witchcraft to drive away the evil spirits that were said to be roaming around. Later, the Roman harvest festival celebrated with nuts and apples merged with the Celtic October 31st. In the Middle Ages, people wore animal-shaped costumes and scary masks to drive away ghosts in the night on Halloween Eve. Although Christianity later replaced Celtic and Roman religious practices, early customs were preserved.
