00:00What if your Halloween started with the sky glowing red and the ground rumbling beneath your feet?
00:05That's exactly what happened in Guatemala.
00:07Just past midnight, Volcan de Fuego, one of Central America's most active volcanoes, lit up the night sky.
00:15With up to 15 explosions per hour, the volcano launched blazing lava and smoke high into the dark.
00:21Glowing embers danced in the sky while thunderous rumbles echoed through the valleys below.
00:26Columns of ash soared 1,500 feet above sea level.
00:30And incandescent fragments, some over 1,000 feet in the air, rained down the mountainside.
00:35Time-lapse footage captured the eerie beauty, a natural firework show that was as dangerous as it was mesmerizing.
00:42Locals were warned of falling ash and shockwaves.
00:45But to the world, it was a fiery reminder of Earth's raw, untamed power.
00:50And on this Halloween morning, Volcan de Fuego truly lived up to its name, the Volcano of Fire.
