Yes, it often does, but they are not the same holiday.
on halloween the day of te dead is celebrated
All across the country. It is a nation-wide custom, just like Halloween is to Americans.
day of the dead is a spanish holiday, while Halloween is an American holiday. on day of the dead the spanish celebrate and honor the dead, so it is very much like all souls' day. Halloween is when you knock on peoples' doors and ask for candy. I'm pretty sure day of the dead is an official holiday but Halloween is definitely, but unfortunately, not.
Some cultures just don't celebrate certain holidays, just as us Americans don't celebrate Day of the Dead, the equivalent of Halloween in Mexico.
Halloween and Day of the Dead both have to do with the spirits of the dead, though Halloween has more to do with warding off evil spirits and Day of the Dead is focused more on welcoming the spirits of family ancestors back into the household, and respecting the dead.
In the modern day, they're actually asimilar. But Halloween came from the Gaelic pagan festival of Samhain, which featured worship of the dead - as does Day of the Dead.
The difference is, the day of the dead you remember your loved ones who have died. When they celebrate the day of the dead they shut down all of mexico,the day of the dead is very sacred day. Halloween,its just a holiday.
