How do you make white icing black?
To make a real black icing, take 2 cups of Wilton's ready-to-use buttercream, add 1/2 cup good quality cocoa (sift if it seems lumpy), 2 teaspoons of water, and 1 oz. Wilton black icing color.
You will achieve a true, deep rich black color which is so popular for wedding cakes today, such as details for stringwork or embroidery work. For example, the Black Tie Affair Cake is topped with black buttercream cornelli lace.
If you have added too much black color in the beginning and your buttercream seems to have somewhat of a bitter taste, I suggest adding either 2 tablespoons of cocoa or a flavoring such as cherry or orange, about 1 teaspoon, to 2 cups of icing.

What time do you stop trick or treating?
Many areas have set times to trick or treat. You should find out what those hours are for your area and abide by them.
If times have not been set, it is a good idea to stop trick-or-treating by 10 o'clock at the LATEST. At this point, people will be wanting to go to bed, and not have to stay up to give candy to those who come to their doors. Also, try not to stay out too much later after it has begun to get VERY dark, for safety reasons, of course. For younger children, try to aim for earlier times to end because younger children should not be staying out as late and it is more dangerous for them as it gets darker than it is for older children or teenagers.
What does Africa call Halloween?
I imagine that you would celebrate this holiday in Africa as you would in any other country, or rather continent. I apologize, but you must be more specific as to which country exactly, for the poorer countries cannot afford to celebrate whereas wealthier countries can. For example, Morocco has a way of celebrating every festival or "Holiday" the same way.

What is the origin of All Saints Day?
All Saints' Day, feast of the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches, and day on which churches glorify God for all God's saints, known and unknown. It is celebrated on Nov. 1 in the West, since Pope Gregory IV ordered its church-wide observance in 837. Its origin lies earlier in the common commemorations of martyrs who died in groups or whose names were unknown, which were held on various days in different parts of the Church; over time these celebrations came to include not only the martyrs but all saints. During the Reformation the Protestant churches understood "saints" in its New Testament usage as including all believers and reinterpreted the feast of All Saints as a celebration of the unity of the entire Church. In medieval England the festival was known as All Hallows, hence the name Halloween [=All Hallows' eve] for the preceding evening.
Roman Catholic Answerfrom The Order of Prayer in the Liturgy of the Hours and Celebration of the Eucharist 2010, compiled by Rev. Peter D. Rocca, C.S.C., Paulist Press Ordo, Mahwah, NJ © 2009
All Saints First mentioned in the 4th century Eastern feast of All Martyrs (13 May) and attested to by St. Ephrem of Edessa (†373), this feast came to be celebrated on other days as well in the East, e.g., Easter Friday, and the Sunday after Pentecost, the day of its observance in some places in the West. In 609 or 610, the Roman Pantheon was dedicated on 13 May under the title S. Maria ad Martyres. Many see in this the origin of All Saints Day. For reasons which are unclear, Pope Gregory IV (827-844) transferred the feast from May to 1 November, adopting perhaps the English-Gallican practice dating from the first quarter of the 8th century.
from A Catholic Dictionary, edited by Donald Attwater, Second edition, revised 1957
The feast (Nov. 1 in the Western Church) on which are commemorated all the saints of God, canonized and uncanonized, known and unknown. It is a feast of the highest rank, with a fasting vigil and an Octave. It was formerly often called All Hallow's in England. Religious orders have a feast of all the saints of their order later in the month. In the Byzantine rite it is kept on the first Sunday after Pentecost and on other days in other rites. "The feast of All Saints seems to me to be in some sort a greater than that of Easter or the Ascension. Our Lord is perfected in this mystery, because, as our Head, he is only perfect and fulfilled when he is united to all his members, the saints . . . it is glorious because it manifests exteriorly the hidden life of Jesus Christ. The greatness of perfection of the saints is entirely the work of his spirit dwelling in them" (M. Olier)
