I saw some 'extra large haloween pumpkin' at the freaking co-op today, does that count? Most places are full of fireworks too for guy fawks.

Also the kids that like to go out trick or treating don't even dress up

Yea they do! At least with masks and stuff, where do you live?

I was arrested last Halloween. Apparently the cops didn't like my costume. I was completely naked except for some rollerskates, and was telling everyone that I was a pull-toy.

Being raised Southern Baptist, Halloween has absolutely no value to me, but if it's an excuse for people to go out and have fun, I don't see any problems with it.

It's one last party before we enter Winter, the most horrible and evil time of the year.

For me, it is the one day when kids can hold your property hostage, demanding a ransom of candy or else they destroy your possessions, without being blamed for it.
