For me, Halloween is a true children's holiday. Of course it can be a bit horrific depending on how you play it, but there's nothing like Trick'or'Treating your way down the block and visiting haunted houses and going to halloween parties, etc.
I would suggest to the Waseda folks, if they haven't yet seen it, to watch A Charlie Brown Halloween. That's classic American halloween there even though there's a sequence about the great pumpkin, a fictional being that is not part of halloween tradition (but an ironic confusion between halloween and santa claus).
halloween has always been a fun holiday for me simply decause i like dressing up in costume. it gives an excuse to wear weird things and people dont stare at you for it. plus there was the added bonus of free candy. i trick or treated with friends all the way through senior year of high school, being short has its advantages.
For some reason, the Japanese language tool doesn't work, so I'll write in English.
We don't have Halloween in Indonesia. For me, Halloween is just another reason to break away from the mundanity of school and party. :-p
I guess the traditional way of enjoying Halloween is to have pumpkin pies (pumpkins are Autumn vegetable), and carve the pumpkin shell into lanterns.
There are various foklores about the origin of Halloween, and it's very hard to find out which one is the authentic one. However, many agree that Halloween is somewhat related to Autumn harvest celebration.
Halloween is one of the most enjoyable holidays in America. Everybody enjoys the feel of an automn festival with treats and tricks for all. For kids, and for some older folks, Halloween is best enjoyed with trick or treating through a few neighborhoods. Scary movies and pumpkin carving are also staples to be enjoyed. There are also various costume parties to attend and enjoy. Overall Halloween is a fun holiday for anyone who is willing to get into the spirit. 来週にたくさん楽しいがありますつまりです。
So, I'd like to talk about pumpkins. They're my favorite thing about this time of year. There are so many things you can do with them! Around Halloween, Americans will buy large pumpkins, hollow them out inside, and carve faces or pictures into the pumpkins. Then we put candles inside so the face will glow. We put them in front of our houses. Then you can also save the seeds and bake them- they're quite yummy.
If you don't want to carve the pumpkin, you can use it for more practical purposes, such as making pumpkin pie, pumpkin soup, pumpkin bread, or pumpkin cookies.
If you've never tasted pumpkin, you are missing out! ^_^
My Mom HATES Halloween with a passion, with I think in turn turned into me being pretty apathetic towards the holiday. That said, the parties are fun, dorking around (Sorry, not actual English), and just having fun is never a bad thing. But I'm in the camp that there's a cut-off age for trick or treating. As for eating candy, that lasts forever. =p This year it doesn't look like there's too much going on, but I'll see what happens.
Halloween is a day I really loved when I was a little kid, but lately I don't have time to celebrate it. I would go buy a costume (at the Halloween stores that open only in October) and go Trick or Treat in my neighborhood. Sometimes the neighborhood parents would dress up in costumes and come with us and drive us around in a wagon full of hay~ ... it was fun~
At night I would come home with big bags full of candy. But I don't really like candy, so I gave my candy to my brother and friends. I just liked collecting candy, not eating it!
I don't trick or treat any more. I just watch Halloween movies. I really like the Charlie Brown Halloween movie, but my favorite Halloween movie is The Nightmare Before Christmas! I love the songs~
Nowadays there are indoor parties for people (like us!) who are too old to walk around at night in creepy neighborhoods taking candy from strangers in the darkness. So it's ok.
I also love trick or treating but I quit after middle school. I love sweet things but candies give me headaches. Fortunately, chocolates don’t give me headaches so I always gave candies to my brother and kept chocolates for myself. Since high school, I went to my friend’s party during the weekends and enjoyed handing out the treats to little kids on Halloween. But I do not have much plan this year. I feel too lazy this year and I think I will put [Out of Candies, Sorry] sign in front of my door so they will leave me alone~.
Halloween is by far one of my favorite holidays. I love to see everyone dressing up in costumes and running around into the late hours of the night. It also gives people a chance to be creative with their costumes which is very cool. In boulder, we also have a tradition called the "naked pumpkin run". This is when over 50 people get naked, put carved pumpkins over their head and run down pearl street.(an outdoor mall) とても面白い。。。
When I was little, I couldn't go trick-or-treating, because Holloween comes from an ancient Pagan holy day called Samhain that celebrates death and the lifting of the veil between the living and the dead, and was even thought to have human sacrifices accompaning it. But Americans no longer practice this aspect of Holloween, and it is a day of nation-wide dress-up and candy.
Halloween is a great time of year. With the changing seasons, beautiful colors, and cooler weather, it's the first start of the holidays for America.
I personally think Halloween is a holiday meant specifically for children; however, adults and teenagers can enjoy it too. For children, they dress up in costumes and go "Trick or Treating" and collect candy. The idea is that, if a house doesn't give the children candy, the'll have a "trick" played on them... most of which aren't very nice.
For adults, Halloween is a social holiday. It's more common for the holiday to be "scary", so friends get together and go to "haunted houses" or watch scary/gory movies. Also, it's fun for everybody to dress up and wear weird clothes without being stared at. Halloween parties are also very popular.
I was never really into Halloween in the first couples years in America. My parents didn't know much about Halloween, so in the first couple of years when kids from the neighbors knocked on our doors, my parents felt annoyed.
But in middle school, me and my sister began dressing up and go trick-o-treating. I remember that I was Alice from Alice in Wonderland. But I had always been Alice until the very last time I went trick-o-treating. Now I'm way too old to be doing that, and that costume is long gone. But I really miss the time having a basket full of candies and got stomachache the next morning because I ate too much. (*￣∇￣*)エヘヘ
Halloween is an interesting holiday to say the least. When your younger you walk around your neighborhood dressed up in costumese and at every house you collect candy. When you get older, american girls dress up in very 'skimpy' outfits (very little clothes) and go out to parties with guys who dress up like famous people or fictional characters. together they go out to parties and bars. everyone who participates regardless of age, either decorates there house or carves a pumpkin so that they can place a candle in it and illuminate there design (sometimes a scary face or pattern).
いつハッォウェエンは赤ちゃんがコスツムを買いてのために夜の”trick or treat"。でも、お女の人はろしゅつどがたかいにはハッォウェエンのパチ。
I usually bake pumpkin cookies or pumpkin cake for haloween and take them to school with a pumpkin shape bucket. I'm planning to bake a pumpkin cheese cake this year.
dan r.'サンのアドバイスがいい考えです。あのcharlie brownフィルムが見たらたぶnハロウインのこと分かりますと思う。むかし、近所でいっぱい子供がハロウインの夜でコスチウムを着てマスクをしてあまい物をもらうために近所の人のドアをドンドンドンしてTrick or Treat!!はよくやってた。このごろ、こうゆtrick or treatingがすくなくなった感じです。ある親たちがいきたい近所に子供を車でつれて行く。ちょとつまんないですね。
Children dress-up in costume and Trick-or-Treat. Usually around High School age, they instead go to Halloween parties (which are very popular). After that High School, Trick-or-Treating is quite rare because many people view it as solely a children's activity and aren't as willing to give candy to other adults.
i heard a dentist in boulder was offering $1 for a pound of candy to any kid who would give up her/his bounty. very creative idea. i'd like to offer that on the mall. trade-in booth. moms are walking their kids into stores on pearl st to trick or treat!! does anyone else think this is another pathetic indicator of community going down the drain?
Halloween in really fun. As a kid you get to go around and dress up and get candy. Then as you grow older, you still get to dress up, but you usuually go to parties instead of the candy. It's so much fun to see everyone's costume :)

ハロウィーンは甘いものの日です。子供がコスチュムをきて家に行ってお菓子をもらいます。そして、大人はコスチュムをきてパーティーをします。でも、ハロウィーンを祝わない人もいます。悪魔の日だと思っています。
アメリカでは若い人たちがコスチュームを来たりキャンディを食べたりします。 大学生は多分ハロウィン・パーティに行くかもしれない。 僕は７年生からコスチュムをきません。

This comment is too long...
ハロウィーンはすご～いと思う！大好きだよ！でも、コロラドはハロウィーンにはいつもとても寒いになって雪が降った。大変だったよ。子供の時は、スーパークールなコスチュームがあったけど、コートをきらなくてはいけないから、コスチュームがあまり見えなかった。
Nowadays there are indoor parties for people (like us!) who are too old to walk around at night in creepy neighborhoods taking candy from strangers in the darkness. So it's ok.
私ではハロウィーンはとても楽しかった。毎年、弟と妹とともにおかしをもらいました。その後、怖いテレビ番組と映画を見ました。まった、よくハロウィーンの音楽を聞きます。

アメリカのハロウィーンには子ともたちが隣の家に行って、"Trick or Treat" と言います。
その後で、子供にキャンヂをあげます。
ハロウィーンはとても楽しい、とても怖いです。だから、楽しいの時は子供の時コスチュームを着て、次に行く戸別にキャンデーを取得します。怖いの時はお化け屋敷へ行った。そのお化け屋の中はたくさんの怖い人です。みんなを彼らを追い、みんなびっくりさせて。ほんとうに怖いです。
I'm really scared of scary stuff so I would never go to those kinds of things, but my friends love it. x.x

ハロウィンは楽しい祝日です。かぼうちゃをカーブするが大好きです。私の一番好きなハロウィンの映画はナイトメル・ビフォル・クリストマスです。
Halloween is a fun holiday. I like carving pumpkins. My favorite Halloween movie is the Nightmare Before Christmas.
キャンヂイが好きじゃないのでハロウィンは詰まらないです。 しかもただ子供はコスチュームを着ます。
私もはハロウィーン大好きでしょ。ハロウィーノで「クリスマスの前のあくむ」という映画を見ます。
ハロウィーンはほんとに楽しいです。
今年に私はカプタンフックをなります。

楽しいと思いますね。
ハロウィーンにアメリカの伝統はゲームの「Bobbing for Apples」です。
「Bobbing for Apples」で水のなかにりんごを入れて、手をつかわなくって、口でりんごを掴みます。
おもしろいね。
さあ、子供たちは怖いコスチュームを作り、近所にある家にチョクレットとかを下さりに行きます。普通に十二歳になると辞めます。十時ぐらい自分の家に帰って来てチョクレットを食べます。
コスチュームはねえ。えっと、たいていお気に入る映画のキャラクタとして変装します。
例えば、ダースベーダとかスパイﾀﾞマンなどですね。

ハロウィーンは一番好きホリデイです。私は世界一格好いい教皇に成りたい。
ハロウィーンは面白い休日です。毎年、子供でcostumeを着りました。家から家までへ行ったとき「trick or treat」と言いました。大人の飴をもらいました。たくさん飴をもらて食べました。
今、大人でcostumeを着ります。パティーへ行きます。楽しいよ。
時々horror映画を見でもとてもこわいです。
みなさんのコスプレとお菓子の愛のためにハロウィーンが作ったと思います。子供の時はスーパーヒロのコスチュームを着たそしてたくさんお菓子をむらいます（１キロごろ）。３月間にゆっくりに食べました。とても楽しかった。
ハロウィンは一番好きな祝日ですよ。コスチュムは一番好きなものだけど、実はの今年ハロウィンには、お金がないし、時間がないし、コスチュムがない。でも、いつもコスチュムを作るのが好きです。創造性があります。
小さいの時ハロウィーンにお菓子がたくさんとりあつめたけど、今若い人がよく酒を飲んだりパーティーします。トリック オア トリートがもうできないよね。
I almost wish I could go trick-or-treating again... get excessive amounts of candy, but doing so is generally frowned upon these days.
I usually bake pumpkin cookies or pumpkin cake for haloween and take them to school with a pumpkin shape bucket.
I'm planning to bake a pumpkin cheese cake this year.
俺は小さい頃母親に連れられてICU(International Christian University)とかASIJ(American School In Japanかな？)の敷地でハロウィンやったなー。コスチューム着て。笑 日本はそういうところでしかやらないからね。今もやってるんかな？？
dan r.'サンのアドバイスがいい考えです。あのcharlie brownフィルムが見たらたぶnハロウインのこと分かりますと思う。むかし、近所でいっぱい子供がハロウインの夜でコスチウムを着てマスクをしてあまい物をもらうために近所の人のドアをドンドンドンしてTrick or Treat!!はよくやってた。このごろ、こうゆtrick or treatingがすくなくなった感じです。ある親たちがいきたい近所に子供を車でつれて行く。ちょとつまんないですね。
そう、そう
しかも、フィルムの音楽はすごいです。
日本ではハローウィンお祝いを盛大にやらないから楽しそうだね！！
アメリカではみんな仮装して街を歩いてるのな？？
Yumiさん、

After that High School, Trick-or-Treating is quite rare because many people view it as solely a children's activity and aren't as willing to give candy to other adults.
But people of all ages still like to dress up.
いよいよハロウィンですね!!!みなさん楽しんでますか？
私の11歳の弟は今日、小学校にかぼちゃの帽子をもっていきましたが、アメリカのハロウィンパーティーではどんなかっこうが1番人気なんですか？？
アメリカでは、どんな感じでハローウィンを祝うんですか？日本では、そんなに大きなイベントではないので祝った事がない人が多いと思います。知らない人の家に行ってお菓子を貰ったり今でもするんですか？私もアメリカのハローウィンを楽しんでみたいです！！
i heard a dentist in boulder was offering $1 for a pound of candy to any kid who would give up her/his bounty. very creative idea. i'd like to offer that on the mall. trade-in booth. moms are walking their kids into stores on pearl st to trick or treat!! does anyone else think this is another pathetic indicator of community going down the drain?
