It's a tradition that we all did back in the day.
Apple bobbing was great fun and here are seven reminders of that Halloween favourite from the Sunderland Echo archives.
There's a whole host of scenes from the Thompson Park Nursery which held celebrations each year.
We've also got a 1979 reminder of the St Aidan's Brownies Halloween night and the Junior Echo party in 1975.
Tuck in to some great memories.
