I LOVE Halloween. In fact, last year my son got married on Halloween, and we had so much fun. After the reception, they climbed into a limo and went to haunted houses!
I love making and wearing costumes, and the whole fantasy part of it. Plus I love the spookiness of Halloween. I wish it lasted longer - like a whole weekend or something.

I LOVE Halloween! It's the one holiday when you can go completely over the top for decorations, costumes, party ideas, you name it - the more outrageous the better! It's so much fun! And, of course, there's all the chocolate!

Yay, Halloween is the besssssssssst ever!!! I just love the whole idea of it, I love going to haunted hayrides and haunted houses and being "scared" by all that. It's a nice adrenaline rush I guess. I also get very excited at the site of pumpkins and hay bales and I love pumpkin pie and YAYAYAYAY for Halloween. LOL.

Ohhhh I do!...as a pagan and a celt...its one of my favorites!
And for the person who answered this question by bashing Halloween....I would like to correct their misinformation....
Halloween comes from an ancient pagan celtic festival Samhain, (pronounced sow-in which rymes with cow-in) that was celebrated to mark the end of Harvesttime and the beginning of the new year... the 2 day celebration began at sundown on Oct 31 the ancient celts believed that the viel between the worlds of the living and the dead was at its thinnest during during Samhain, thereby making it a good time to communicate with the deceased and to divine the future.
following roman takeover of celt- occupied lands (aprox.1st century AD) the Romans incorportated many celtic traditions with their own...hundreds of years later, the Roman Catholic Church further modified Samhain making Nov.1 All Saints Day in honor of Catholic saints...It was celebrated with bonfires and people costumed as angels and saints parading thro the villages...Nov.1 was also known as All Hallows Day(hallow means to santify or make holy) Oct.31 was known as All Hallows Eve...over time...it was shortened to Hallows' Eve....which became Hallows Evening...which in time became Hallowe'en...and then Halloween

Halloween is not a holiday. A holiday means a holy day. There is nothing holy about Halloween. Unless you worship the devil or the dead. Halloween means all hallows eve. A hallow is like a haunt or ghost or the dead. It means the day of the dead.
I don't hate it, I just don't participate in it. As a child, I did, but as an adult, I've put away childish things, because now I know better. I'm a teacher, and I had to just change the name to candy day, and I tell my children why-because I don't believe in Halloween. If some of them can tell me that they don't believe in saying the pledge, or Christmas, I feel I can tell them what I don't believe in.

I LOVE IT!!! I love the creepy sounds and ghoulish music, the scary tales, the trick-or-treating and costumes, I love the time of year, the crisp autumn air and falling colored leaves. I love the apples and hay and mums and of course carving pumpkins. I love black cats and witches and ghosts. I love it all and wish I could be a kid again to go out trick-or-treating!
