Blood Moon or Hunter's Moon, the first full moon after the Harvest Moon. Harvest Moon and "Hunter's Moon" are traditional terms for the full moons occurring in autumn, usually in September and October, respectively. The "Harvest Moon" is the full moon closest to autumnal equinox, and the "Hunter's Moon" is the one following it.
Causes[]
When the sun rays that come from the sun light go through the atmosphere of the Earth, they seem to carry take the environment of gases, air, carbon dioxide that people breath out, emotions, and the pollution of the Earth with them into the atmosphere of the Moon, and when it reaches the Moon, the appearance of the planet turns into blood (red moon).
Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters[]
In the film, Hansel and Gretel found a paper on the Tall Witch which speaks of the 'Night of the Blood Moon' and 'Blood Moon Sabbath'. The witches collected twelve children, each born on a different month. They plan to use them along with heart of a white witch to gain the power to be immune to fire. Muriel had planned to use Gretel (a white witch), but her plan failed as Hansel and Mina stopped their gathering and later, killed Muriel.
