There are so many different views on this subject, even from church to church. But is there anywhere in the Bible that actually says it's a sin? Or is it all in how you celebrate (satanic ritual: sin; going door-to-door dressed up with your kids: not a sin)?

No relax it is just for fun.
Halloween has NEVER had anything to do with satanic ritual. Halloween is from the old pre-christian, European religions, having to do with the time of year when the veil between our world and the spirit world gets thin. The masks were intended to confuse evil spirits and invite good ones.
Prior to Christianity there was no "Satan"

It all depends on your mind set when you send your kids out to trick or treat. Its an old pagan ritual and if its all in fun for you and your kids, it's not sinful. As long as you are a Christian and believe in the Christian values, it nothing but some fun for the kids.

So, Christmas began out as pagan also. i'm confident there is not any harm in Halloween. have self belief and have a good time life and do not pay interest to those who make taboos for human beings to adhere to. would not it look ridiculous to non-believers to no longer enable your toddlers take section? for this reason I say to have self belief. Rom 14:23b and inspite of isn't from faith is sin. Edit: i'd be incorrect yet do not churches attempt to allow you to recognize that it really is alright to have a good time as long as you do it with them? I left the legalistic charismatic church that i became in for 7 years and would see the position they are coming from now. I used to have self belief in all of those issues that they'd allow you to recognize. i'd supply tracks truly of sweet. I now see those movements of mine as very self-righteous and unusual.

this depends upon your personal belief. Halloween was combated by All Saint's Day the next day on November 1st by the Church as a day to honor and adore all the Saints who didn't have their own special day. do in your heart what you think is right but no matter what decision is made everyone has the free will to choose as they see fit and to do what they feel is right.

this is actually one of the only holidays i celebrate. it is fun. it is one day in the year you can dress up as whatever you like, and party. as for kids, i would never deny them the experience of trick or treating. no matter how religious you and your family may be, and how "evil" the holiday may be, the kids don't know that yet. let them have fun while they're young.

I don't see it specifically in the Bible that way. But you might consider "abstain from appearances of evil". Our church usually has a hallelujah night instead, where children can play games and get candy.
I think it is more what you do or celebrate it.

Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Exodus 23:13 And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.
Deuteronomy 5:7 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
Deuteronomy 6:14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;
Holloween is the holiday that belongs to satan. Those who celebrate it are worshiping him. many people do not realize that. Every year, and this was discovered by the invistagive TV sho 20/20 by using hidden cameras, that babies are sacrificed to satan on holloween. It is the most horriffic thing I had ever seen.

James Dobson says that if you dress up as something sweet and nice, it is okay. Just don't do any of the scary stuff. Also as an alternative, they have Fall Festivals at many churches and the kids get lots of candy. I always take my grandson to those.
