    Fyi... (I knew it was going to be full, and
    now that I think about it, yes, it would
    be blue too.)

    First time there's been a full moon on Halloween night in 46 years.
    Next Halloween w/full moon: 2020. Also a blue moon.

    "The Last Full Moon On Halloween Until 2020"

    Horkheimer: This Halloween will be the last full moon until the year
    2020.Look east at sunset for a pumpkin orange full moon just above the
    horizon. And because it will be tilted to the left it will look like a
    jack-o-lantern, in fact some astronomers suggest that it was such a full
    moon on a halloween long ago that may have prompted the carving of faces
    on pumpkins at this time of year. At midnight it will be at its highest,
    shining a ghostly white and accompanied by the Seven Sisters flying
    overhead which many cultures have long associated with their days of the
    dead. And remember, this is the last full moon on Halloween for 19
    years.
