Halloween

Halloween is a human holiday celebrated on the 31st day of October. The holiday developed from several older religious festivals, and emphasized ideas and characters that were frightening to most humans.

The alien explorers Korob and Sylvia constructed a castle, took on the roles of a wizard and sorceress, and used other constructs which reminded humans such as Captain James T. Kirk and Doctor Leonard McCoy of Halloween.

The character Bradley in the Dixon Hill holodeck program remarked that in his Starfleet uniform that Captain Jean-Luc Picard was ready for Halloween.

Upon discovering a number of apparently dead Cardassian soldiers lying in a previously sealed compartment on Deep Space Nine, the senior staff decided to keep the discovery a secret until a way could be found to return the Cardassians to their own people. Captain Benjamin Sisko remarked that until a diplomatically acceptable way to remove those soldiers could be found that it would be Halloween on the station.
