Depending on where in the USA you live, the holiday is treated quite differently.
There are still many places in American suburbia where kids in costumes go around the community asking for candy with the magic words that make adults give them sweets, "Trick or Treat".
In some places, where the religious (often fascist) christian right has taken hold, few children in a neighborhood go out and collect candy because "Halloween is the birthday of the Devil!" and other such nonsense.
Sometimes, due to neurotic parents in your neighborhood worrying about their kids getting poisoned or abducted or something, no door to door collection of candy is permitted, but kids attend some kind of costume, candy and fun filled (almost carnival like) evening, usually in a local church basement or school gymnasium.
In some urban areas, sometimes kids stick to just their apartment buildings, going door to door collecting candy among mostly folks that they know (at least by sight).
I'm hoping to hear from more of the "DN around the world" on this important topic.
