1:16:00
But there's a better reason.
1:16:02
You don't really know much
about Halloween.
1:16:06
You thought no further than the strange custom of
having your children wear masks and go out
begging for candy.
1:16:18
It was the start of the year in our old Celtic lands
and we'd be waiting ...
1:16:23
in our houses of wattles and clay.
1:16:26
The barriers would be down, you see,
1:16:29
Between the real and the unreal.
1:16:32
And the dead might be looking in ...
1:16:34
to sit by our fires of turf.
1:16:40
Halloween.
1:16:44
The festival of Samhain.
1:16:46
The last great one took place 3,000 years ago
and the hills ran red ...
1:16:53
with the blood of animals and children.
1:16:56
Sacrifices.
1:16:58
It was a part of our world ...
1:17:00
Our craft.
1:17:02
Witchcraft.
- To us, it was a way of controlling our environment.
1:17:07
It's not so different now.
1:17:09
It's time again.
1:17:12
In the end ...
1:17:14
We don't decide these things, you know.
1:17:18
The planets do.
1:17:24
They're in alignment.
1:17:26
And it's time again.
1:17:28
The world's going to change tonight, Doctor.
1:17:31
I'm glad you'll be able to watch it.
1:17:43
And...
1:17:47
happy Halloween.
