How do you celebrate Halloween?

If you do celebrate it, of course :)

In my country we do not go "trick or treating". Some nightclubs just organize thematic parties...

Please include your country if possible ;)

In my spiritual-religious system, various beautiful holy days from various beautiful cultures merge together for a beautiful three day three night festival of death.

Australia has never bothered with this horrid tradition but in recent years it has been pushed as another commercial exercise.
I personally hate it and if kids come to my door they get turned away and told that there is no halloween at this house.
It is the celebration of all things evil

and I for one wish it would go away. I do not believe that it is a celebration fit for Christians for obvious reasons.

It is certainly becoming very commercialised in the UK But things like trick and treat are far from universal.
Halloween is certainly a traditional event going back far into history and is fairly harmless fun, and rarely taken in any way seriously.
Some of the more religious people take exception to it, and do not allow their children to participate at all, but this is more the fundamentalist attitude, than say mainline Christians.

Halloween is no more followed as a serious belief than say "Harry Potter" or the "Force"

I celebrate it by muttering "bah-humbug" and getting out my fire-hose to "welcome" the greedy brats that knock on my door. :p

In Revoltistan (SE MI in USA) I celebrate by hoping that one of these years I'll get invited to a Halloween party.
I've made several costumes
- Lawyer (shark fin on back of suit)
- $100 Bill (me own snoot where Ben was)
- Monty Burns (Exxxcelllllent!)
- Freddie Krueger

Up here in Ohio, USA, we have kids going trick-or-treating, the pumpkin, gourd and squash harvests are in, we have pumpkin and pumpkin-spice-flavored EVERYTHING to eat or drink (pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin spice cookies), every kind of candy you can think of in vast quantities, apple cider (cold or hot), the usual Halloween decorations with ghosts, witches, jack-o-lanterns, spiders, skeletons and that stuff, and all the weak-sauce Halloween costumes like Disney princesses, witches, skeletons, ghosts, Star Wars characters, insert other popular character from kid-friendly movie here, etc.

Personally, I wish we would go back to the days where Halloween costumes were actually creepy. These put to shame anything you can buy in a store today:

I never have so far, but I suppose that its not really a holiday to me. I have given out some candy at the door just to be neighborly. I've also never had a Halloween costume or gone 'Triggor treating' (which is the proper pronunciation where I'm from).

The shops push it, of course — they have stuff for Halloween, Guy Fawkes' Day, and Christmas at the moment — but my reaction is to reject it as an un-English activity.

I take my kids Trick or Treating. I used to go clubbing with friends. For some reason, all the female nurses and police officers come out this particular night. Ahhh, back in the days.

[Edited]
Oh you just reminded me that I did dress up as a pimp one Halloween and celebrated in San Francisco where they section off various neighborhoods for a street festival. That was fun. Why did I choose to have kids again?

How do you celebrate Halloween?
I lock the doors, turn off the lights, make tea, and watch the following -

"Halloween"

"Halloween II"

"Nosferatu"

"Shadow of the Vampire"

"The Mummy" (1932)

:clapperboard: :television:
