Why is it sometimes confusing día de Los muertos with Halloween? Pls I need help

Día de Los muertos and Halloween are sometimes confused because both holidays are a bit similar since some dress up as skeletons in dia de Los muertos and some dress up as skeletons during Halloween. They also have  ”scary” decorations , candy, and other foods.

hope this was helpful.

Explanation:

No, Día de los Muertos isn't 'Mexican Halloween' ... While Halloween and Day of the Dead do share common roots, they are totally different holidays. One major distinction is that Halloween is only one night, whereas the Day of the Dead is actually a three-day event that is just getting starting on Oct. 31.
