Sorry but because it's in a different colour it's really unclear if there is a spike at Halloween or if it's just a marker line for the day

Yeah it took me a long time to understand what this graph was trying to say. It doesn't appear as a spike at all.

Using a different color is needlessly confusing

What would be the point of the graphic if it’s just a marker line for the day?

I thought it was pointing out that Halloween deaths aren’t remarkably high despite the fact that people make assumptions & caution around it. It is more interesting knowing that the orange line is representing data; but it probably should have been left the same color and labeled next to the line.
