Zilloween

Calendar showing Zilloween during the month of Remember

Every 25-37th of Remember, it's Zilloween. Zilloween is a celebration in honor of the Giant Zille, and it is customary during this holiday to give out Candy to one's fellow Glitchen and carve a lot of Pumpkins.

“      This is Zilloween, this is Zilloween, a holiday (which, for some reason, people tend to repeat) in honor of Zille. A time for costumes, seasonal foods, for gifting candy, and the only time when pumpkins can be grown and carved into lanterns: Zilloween Zilloween, Zilloween Zilloween! Ahem. Excuse us. Overexcited. ” - Encyclopedia
