What do you call the Night before Halloween?

[festeringZit]

Where I grew up we called it "cabbage night." Though looking at the graphic, that seems to be isolated to a small portion of New England on the Canadian border, which
is exactly where I grew up.

Cabbage had absolutely nothing to do with it, have no idea where the name came from...

Typical behavior was to toilet paper people's trees...

We used to call it moving night.

I remember some dumbass ice-cream truck came around the neighborhood one year and we lit his truck up with eggs. He chased us around the neighborhood for hours with the music still going.
