Thanks,here's some history of the holiday (copied from Wikipedia :D ) :
Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain (Irish pronunciation: [ˈsˠaunʲ]; from the Old Irish samain).[1] The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture, and is sometimes[2] regarded as the "Celtic New Year."[3] Traditionally, the festival was a time used by the ancient Celtic pagans to take stock of supplies and slaughter livestock for winter stores. The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, now known as Halloween, the boundary between the alive and the deceased dissolved, and the dead become dangerous for the living by causing problems such as sickness or damaged crops. The festivals would frequently involve bonfires, into which bones of slaughtered livestock were thrown. Costumes and masks were also worn at the festivals in an attempt to mimic the evil spirits or placate them.[

They don't really celebrate it over here but kids are already trying the "trick and treat" stuff for the last few years, and if it's got to do with party's, Spain welcomes anything XD

I just got around to reading this and in the US people have really gone off the deep end with restrictions. Children are only allowed to wear their costumes until 9PM and can only trick-or-treat from 6PM until 7PM
