We create October 31 at 00:00 in your local timezone for this year. If that moment has already passed, we roll to October 31 next year.
2. Local time only
All calculations use your device clock and local timezone, so the countdown hits zero exactly when October 31 starts where you are.
3. Days → seconds
Remaining milliseconds are converted to days, hours, minutes, and seconds. Values never go negative and update every second.
4. Leap years
Leap years are handled automatically by the calendar — the interval from October 31 to next October 31 is 365 or 366 days as appropriate.
5. Already passed?
If today is after October 31, the timer counts toward next year’s October 31 and shows how many days ago the last one occurred.
6. Responsive & scoped
The timer is scoped to this component, accessible, and works on mobile without external libraries.
