   Kenji MoonfieldA viewer on bbn.live asks, is Halloween on October thirty-first this year?

2. 

   Kenji MoonfieldAnd I need you to know I have already refreshed the page twice in case it moved.

3. 

   Dr. Nina ByteIt does not move. Halloween is always October thirty-first.

4. 

   Dr. Nina ByteOnly the day of the week changes, and this year it's a Saturday, per the Old Farmer's Almanac.

5. 

   Kenji MoonfieldAlways? So there's no announcement, no drop date, no teaser trailer? Somebody in a boardroom just picked the thirty-first and never touched it again?

6. 

   Dr. Nina ByteNobody picked it this year. It's a date, Kenji.

7. 

   Dr. Nina ByteIt stays put the way your birthday does, and the only thing that wanders is the weekday.

8. 

   Kenji MoonfieldSo the candy aisle has had the right date since August. I genuinely thought there might be a September update I missed.

9. 

   Dr. Nina ByteAlso, this is the first Saturday Halloween since twenty twenty. Trick-or-treat hours are set by each town, though, so check your own.

10. 

    Kenji MoonfieldA Saturday. No school night, so the kids can stay out until the candy runs dry.

    Dr. Nina ByteComing up next, we'll see who just welcomed Tesla to the flying car race and exactly how polite they were about it. Questions for us? Head to bbn.live.

    Dr. Nina ByteKenji, put this one on the list.

13. 

    Kenji MoonfieldSo it's the same date, just wearing a Saturday.
