Halloween was originally a holiday called All Hallows Eve. It started over 1,000 years ago, where people believed that the dead walked the Earth. They believed that the this was the day where we could actually make contact with the other side, as in the non-living.

no...
it was a banishing of all evil creatures / spirits to protoct the town or village.
a sacrafice was made to keep them at bay (later replaced with gifts)

its annoying when so many people have to make stuff up and claim it to be real.

But I'm too old to go Trick or Treating and nobody ever comes to our door for candy because our street is too dark...  It sad

lol really?? i would prefer going to the darkest places during halloween ^^

but its a shame in Australia, hardly anyone celebrates it.

when i was young, my little brothers, a friend of mine, and I just go for fun, seeing if we do get candy ^^

and we did ^^ *but it took awhile for them to find candy, since they dont celebrate it* XD~~

It's spelled emphasized. And we don't get many kids either. My mother swears that we'll all go to he** if we celebrate Halloween.

I'm still old enough to  go trick-o-treating ^^ (Hurray! Candyyy!)
We get quite a few people coming to our house on Halloween, I even saw quite a few teenagers come to our house X3

Really?  I always thought it was to either to trick the demons or scare them away or something....   I LOVE halloween too much to believe that  ( it's good to be lutheran! lol    )   

Even Still I'll dress up ready to hand out candy  lol   3 kids yup  (and it's not like we don't see them everyday already and feed them food at least once a week)

Hehe, I don't think I'm going to go trick-or-treating this year. Maybe. I just love the candy. My friends think we're too old to go trick-or-treating, but I did last year because my cousin made herself and I both a Tomoeda Elementary uniforms (they were great!). I was a little wary at first because I thought my neighbours would shoot us dirty looks (a you're-too-old-halloween-is-for-little-kids-only look). But they didn't! Some of my neighbours said, "What the heck, I know your family" and gave us candy. A couple were impressed at our costumes. and gave us candy. A couple didn't know what we were dressed up as and were embarassed, so they gave us candy. Only a COUPLE shot us dirty looks and lied and said they were out of candy, even though I could see a bowl of candy poorly hidden behind them. A couple even pretended they didn't give out candy by closing their lights and stuff. But it was okay and I got my candy XD

[Alexiel]

Lol, I stopped going trick-o-treating a few years back. I don't know why! I miss going out and getting people's candy. xDDD Ahh the memories... I think there was a time when someone egged my neighbors' house. oO;;

[Pikari]

I don't think I ever remember seriously believing in any of those. I'm sure I probably did, when I was very young... I have pictures of sitting on the mall Santa's lap and such... but I really don't have any memories from before kidnergarten. (And no, I'm not like Syaoran... lol) Just my first conscious memories are around that time. And my parents would write "From Santa" and that on the presents but I kind of always knew. Maybe they weren't sneaky enough about it. ^^;; And they never made that big a deal about the Easter Bunny, either.. I always knew grandma was hiding the eggs!

I haven't been trick-or-treating since I was around 8 years old. My parents stopped taking us... for the same reasons as moezy-chan has said. We always went to a church party thing that was meant to be a 'substitute' where they gave us bags of candy for coming.

Because I'm influenced by paganism I believe in Samhain, and therefore Hallow'een. I always celebrate at night
the more spirits about the merrier. Santa Claus is okay with me too. I'm relatively Shinto/Buddhist and we have
an army of spirits moving about, engaging in the world we know.
