That's no Elvish greeting. It is in fact the term for those who suffer from a fear of Halloween, which is perfectly understandable. Loads of little people running around in a sugar rush wearing freaky plastic masks! Sounds like some horrible cross between 'Lord of the Rings' and 'Lord of the Flies', so you're in the right place. Pull the curtains, dim the lights and stay across the football at your computer.
props to BBC Live Scores for the info. in case any of you want to act all intellectual this evening with that word.

But surely Samain is the 1st, not the 31st? Or am I getting confused?

And the word is 'Elven' not 'Elvish'

Samhain means "Summers end" if i remember right.
"Elvish" was the king of rock and roll with a speech impediment.
