Children dresses up like monsters, wichtes, deaths .... are in all streets singing the same : Trick or Treat.
All schools prepare little parties for children. They enjoy a lot in these parties. But after the school, the party carries in the streets and of course, like in The States in their neighbourghoods. In the place where I live, there is a neighbbourhood, where there ares some houses decorated with lights, and pumpkins. All children go there to achieve sweets, and of course they want to scare to the owners of the houses with: TRICK OR TREAT.
Apart from this anecdote, what it is obvious is that The States are the best sellers or exporters of their traditions to the rest of the world. Everybody looks to America when Halloween is coming. They want to copy the American tendency and spread it in their country, city or neighbourhood.
Pumkins are in all villages. Every year, when I go to visit a cementery I see pumkins in the path to the cementery. But theses punkins are for the tradition of the village where I go to visit my grandparents in the cementery.
As in each year at this date, an [A]merican tradition invades our lives.

Schools are required to MAKE the celebration of Halloween SAFE.

The world is getting smaller. Pretty soon we'll all be eating 12 grapes on New Year's Eve. :-)
