Not many Americans even of Irish descent (except the older ones) know as much as they should about the ancient Celtic Festival of Samhain during October and the Halloween season. Even less know about Muck Olla, but some fans of the John Carpenter 1978 classic movie  "Halloween" might be interested to know that in the prologue set in ancient Northern Ireland on the night of Samhain in the Curtis Richards novelization of the movie that it is the angry and evil spirit of the ancient pagan Irish Celtic Samhain God of the Dead Muck Olla which first possessed a disturbed and vengeful character who went on a murderous rampage during the Samhain Festival then was literally torn to pieces by the hamlet's outraged tribe folk before what was left of the mutilated body was buried in a special Hill For the Damned in unhallowed ground specially reserved for criminals, traitors, outcasts, and the insane. This same evil spirit re-appeared 3000 years later in 1963 in a place called Haddonfield, Illinois in the USA in the body of a six-year-old boy named Michael Audrey Myers on the night of October 31st.
