Halloween is part of Allowtide which is 3 days all Saints eve (Halloween or hallows eve), all saints day and all souls day. Its really an Irish Catholic tradition that got taken over to America and then exploded in popularity and was made bigger, kinda like St Patrick's day. Its part of an overall Roman Catholic thing that varies from country to country and culture to culture. Basically there are more saints and martyrs of the Christian church than days in the year and a day to remember and pray for the dead. The Mexicans have thd day of the dead which falls on all souls day.

Basically Halloween itself has a Christian background where Christians would hold vigils, remain abstinent, ring church bells, and fast in preparation for all saints day which is a feast day. Practices differ from country to country but Halloween itself with wearing marks etc is Irish Catholic, trick or treating is specifically an irish American tradition that's grown in popularity worldwide

We trick or treat even my church had a little party for the kids we just think it’s fun to dress up and go out and hand out candy and get candy that’s all nothing. Satanic celebrated, When I was in school, the girls used to flirt with me when I would knock on the door

@Dongie I appreciated it, but I was shy

[Dongie]

I can tell. I was deathly afraid of them from second grade till about 23.

[Iron_Man]

@Dongie oh yeah because I wanna act perfect around them when you see a beautiful girl you wanna act right

[Dongie]

[Iron_Man]

@Dongie they’re just so beautiful a beautiful girl and you want them to like you so you wanna act just perfect

[Iron_Man]

@Dongie yes

[Dongie]

I don't! I did as a kid but when I was about 8 years old mom got me a devil costume. I refused to wear it. I wouldn't use or eat anything with the word devil on it like Red Devil hot sauce either. I came out testifying!

Probably because each is just another superstitious trait.

Depends on how devout they are, I had a neighbor who saw my little pony as witchcraft and therefore evil.
