I agree with what Steve has written regarding the pagan origins of
Halloween. This is a documented fact.

I must disagree however that it is harmless and innocent fun. Torah
decrees that we are not to adopt the ways of the pagans. We are to
be a holy people. Assimilating into such pagan-derived practices is
a direct transgression of Torah.
