my friend adds this comment:

from Thomas More: "The devil … the proud spirit cannot endure to be mocked."
The one thing Satan cannot bear is to be a source of laughter. His pride is undermined by his own knowledge that his infernal rebellion against God is in reality an absurd farce. Hating laughter, he demands to be taken seriously. Indeed, I would say that those Christians who spend the night of October 31 filled with concern over what evils might be (and sometimes are) taking place are doing the very thing Lucifer wants them to do. By giving him this respect, such believers are giving his authority credence.
In any event, I doubt the anti-Halloween party will prevail. This tactic was tried before—with Christmas. In the 17th century, because of its pagan ancestry and because it was a Roman Catholic holiday (Christ-mass!), many Protestants decided that true believers should not recognize Christmas. In 1620 our pilgrim forefathers purposely started unloading the Mayflower on Christmas Day to make the point to the crew that they were not going to observe such an evil day.
I'm glad those believers—however well-intended—failed. How bleak and desolate would a winter's December be without Christmas! We could have lost our chance to celebrate Christ's first coming and a chance to witness to the world, as I fear those pilgrims lost a chance to witness to those sailors.
If we give up All Hallows Eve, we lose the delight of God's gift of imagination and we condemn the rest of society to a darker Halloween because our laughter will not be there to make the devil run

Here, I read that Halloween started as pagan traditions in Europe. For example, the Celts in Britian and Ireland had a Day of the Dead or Samhain around November 1st. They had their new years begin on that day. Winter was soon after that day, thus the association with death. They believed the spirits of the dead would come back, so they left food for them. They thought the good spirits would help their Druids to make predictions that could help them survive the coming winter. They wore masks to scare away the evil spirits. When the Romans came, they merged that day into their celebrations to celebrate harvests and honor the dead.
The Christians had an All Saints day on November 1st and an All Hallow's Eve on the 31st to "mark the dedication of the All Saints Chapel in Rome" on the 1st. There was also a All Souls Day on the 2nd for souls in Purgatory. The Christians used this overlap to encourage people to adopt Christianity.
Then later, the holiday was exported to America, where it became commericalized. This form is now getting exported to other parts of the world.

I've always thought All Saints' Day/All Souls' Day was a good idea, and while I totally appreciate the fun factor of Halloween (and would explain it to my kids as such), I think these former two days are much better for instilling a proper attitude in children towards the spirits of the dead. I don't want my children to be afraid of these spirits, or to fear their own mortality excessively, but to truly honor those who have gone before. It took me a long time in my own life before I came to that point, and I would want my kids not to go through the fear I did.
