"NO to halloween celebration - Having fun should not be an excuse!"
Halloween is rooted in disgusting, gory practices of the druids. Rituals were performed by offering human sacrifices to their over 300 gods to placate them. The druid priests would go from door to door to get crops, animals, preferably young people to be sacrificed. "Trick or treat" refers to the punishment or gift given by the druids to the families that did not give away or agreed to surrender the requested offers to be piled up with timber and set afire in the open air bonfire. The bigger the sacrifice the higher favour from the gods they thought would be reached. The barbarous practice of burning humans was stopped in 1600. Many people in the USA and Britain do not see any reason to celebrate or remind the day with any practice, some openly oppose this celebration and do not allow their children to partake in mean scares, nor watch horror movies or dress in gruesome, grotesque costumes. There have been cases of violence that led to very sad happenings, including the death of children by other children in their playing around witches, demons and scary monsters while trying out psychic, paranormal abilities.

There are always two sides... I don't enjoy Halloween that much. Only because the kids get involved but they shouldn't participate in violent activities.
