A full moon occurring on Halloween is a special happening. It only happens about every 18-19 years. Due to its position our moon tonight will hardly be seen and will be a waning crescent. I like the mere crescent on this night better than a full one. It's more eerie. The moon was full, hitting its full moon phase on October 17th. It was also a supermoon, the largest this year. A full moon on Halloween won't happen again until 2039 with the last one being in 2020.

A full moon on Halloween would be extra fun .even better if it was a harvest moon.

I like a crescent moon better. Halloween and full moons don't seem to go together very well.

I think it makes it too lit up outside. It needs to be a bit darker. It's the ambiance and all. Atmosphere.

I like it bright with the stars up in the sky, it reminds me of my peaceful childhood, you know when its a Friday and Saturday night and you don't need to sleep early because there is no classes the next day, I love staring at them before sleeping.

I like Halloween to have some eerie aspects. That makes it more fun.

Good song and good to respect all aspects of the energy of the moon. We take so much for granted.

it's just a random night for some people, so it doesn't really matter if it's crescent or full moon od october 31st.
still, i understand why it would be so cool that it happens on that night. i'm sure we'll have many wolf costumes for halloween 2039.
