does anyone know for sure when exactly the halloween sale ends? i mean exactly. it says until 1.11. Does it mean, that it will still be active during the whole day on 1.11.? Or wil it end on midnight sunday 31.10.?

Halloween is a weekend event in the world - it is not a 2 week holiday. The sale on Steam always lasts a few days and Valve would look a bit silly still milking Halloween come the second week of November.

Pretty much all sales on Steam end on 10am PST.

Yes, but no one knows what halloween is, in my place. Also the fact that other online games like rpg stuff or something would host halloween events even until the end of november, does not tell thats strange to me, so they probably are milking. I think i have been stuck with the old generation, having people celebrate halloween for the whole month, maybe they just dont know when to stop the party because when i saw tom cruise dressed up as the red power ranger walking on red carpet and shouting "Go! Go! Power Rangers! duunnn dunnnn dun dun dun, Rangers Together! HallOwEEen FOrevRRrrrrrr!!!" i just passed out and my neighbor called the ambulance for me. So uhh when i saw the steam halloween schedule in the front page of the store, i clearly lost my mind and felt like my soul was ripped out from my body for a minute lol

Well... you take the time to make an in game event with content and whatnot and you want the most people to experience it. So you let it run for several weeks or a month, whatever. Which is a bit different than say, a halloween themed sale. Not all sales run for weeks regardless. Halloween just isn't a major sale event on Steam.

Valentines day would be another one where a game might have an event for weeks. And the whole month of February in many places is wall to wall hearts and romance themed nonsense. But a Valentine's day sale is going to be confined to a few days around the holiday's date.
