Halloween, the Dead, and the Occult Roots Christians Ignore

This Halloween, Todd, Laura, and Kelly dig beneath the pumpkins and candy to uncover the spiritual roots most believers overlook. From ancient Samhain and Roman harvest rituals to the Catholic “All Hallows” overlay, the team explores how honoring the dead, venerating the dead, and ancestor worship each carry different meanings — and why only one aligns with Scripture.

Todd explains the modern connection between witchcraft, feminism, and control, while Laura draws the line between remembrance and ritual. Together they expose how craving “spiritual experiences” — even inside the church — can mimic occult practice when discernment is missing.

This episode of Naughty vs Nice untangles Halloween’s tangled history, the theology of death and memory, and the subtle ways modern Christianity flirts with ancient deception.
