Well, All Hallows Eve and All Saints Day was supposed to be a christian replacement for the pagan festival of samhain, not sure that worked out all that well since those parts seemed to have been forgotten in modern times.

He's planning the futurama solution.

Ironic since hallows eve and all saints day was invented as a church attempt to replace the pagan holiday samhain, But in this century it what was supposed to be a religious holiday realistically isn't. https://www.albany.edu/~dp1252/isp523/halloween.html
