Día de los Muertos is being celebrated across Mexico and the US, with notable events in the Bay Area and at the National Portrait Gallery in DC. The tradition, influenced by Halloween, has seen both celebrations and controversies this year, including a ban on Halloween festivities in Tokyo, a sewing needle found in trick-or-treat candy in Pennsylvania, and public criticism of adults who raided a candy bowl. However, there are also heartwarming stories of Halloween candy replenishment. The Mexican government has pledged $3.4 billion for recovery efforts in Acapulco, devastated by Hurricane Otis, with the economic toll potentially exceeding $20 billion. A three-generation family is still missing following the hurricane.
