What do you call the night before Halloween?

BC&LM · November 2013

I read on some website today that different parts of the country call the day before Halloween different names. I was rather surprised by this, as I have only ever heard it called one name in my neck of the woods. I know this is a little late, considering Halloween was several days ago, but what do you call the night before Halloween, and where do you live and/or where did you grow up?

We call it Mischief Night both where I grew up and where I live now. Both are Mid-Atlantic states.

Guess it definitely is a regional thing then! I thought it was called Mischief Night everywhere. They call it that around here because some kids will go around and TP and/or egg houses and pull other horrible tricks like that. A lot of towns have started instituting early curfews these days to stop it.
