Halloween is really home delivery for paedophiles. Seriously kids. If you go around knocking on strangers doors, make sure there's a grown up with you.
I think that halloween is a predominately American phenomenon. When I was a kid we went trick or treating but it wasn't a big thing (no decorating houses, pumpkin lanterns etc.) Speaking of which, it's interesting to note that America is rather unique in most of its traditions ( 4th of July, thanks-giving, Halloween, Grid-iron, baseball, the imperial measurement system) To me it seems like you guys are a different world to the rest of us. I can't wait to go there. 
My parents don't let me celebrate Halloween, because it celebrates witchcraft, which is, besides disobedience, is her #1 pet peeve.

It amazes me how many people celebrate October 31st, but have no idea of the significance of November 1st, or of the connection between the two days. It seems we're happy to decide which fragments of tradition we inherit whilst disposing of the rest.
I think a fancy-dress Halloween party with bobbing for apples and ghost stories is better than the consumerist & sometimes menacing "trick or treating."
Too right! All hallows eve/all saints day is derived of pagen origins (thus the stories that it is celebrating witchcraft, which is just not true) and is meant to be a day for remembering those who have died.
I think there is a bit of a English-American divide on the issue of halloween.
(Also it is my dad's birthday on Halloween. I doubt you're interested, but I thought I would tell you anyway.)
