Whereas in the UK, the only thing we get is a few mis-behaving youths and a single, rather pathetic pumpkin on the porch.

Because 3 reasons:
1. KIds get a dumpload of free candy. (who doesnt like that?)
2.Adults go to parties and have a great time.
3.Stores get lots and lots of money from decoratinos and candy.

OK evilc, you're a dick. I hope that was cultured enough for you.
I'm not sure what the beginnings of the traditions are but Halloweens a great time to go out and have fun! It's entertaining for kids and definitely for adults. Holidays weren't meant to be celebrated, right?

All holidays are popular in America. The biggest St Patricks Day celebrations are here, not in Ireland. We celebrate Cinco de Mayo, a Mexican holiday, even though they don't take much note of it in Mexico. It is just our nature to celebrate.

It's fun for both kids and adults--the kids trick-or-treat, and the adults go to parties. And you get to get dressed up in stupid costumes and look like a fool and no one cares.

It's a product of the media and the marketing companies, massive corporate candy companies that want to sell candy and costumes.

Because it's putrid fun. If you ignore all the demented kiddie stuff, that is. Good ole cape-swishing, night-walking, candy-eating fun.

I like it because it is a good reason to party. The costumes make it more interesting too.
