On a related note, I’ve always been a bit weary of us Europeans “importing” Halloween traditions from the US.

I second to that. What is especially tricky, around here in the city you don’t send your kids around completely alone letting them Ring on every doorbell. I am living in a socially not completely unproblematic area. So, if you let the kids go out on Halloween you go with them. I have done that a few times with a pack of parents following closely their kids. And I always found that setup a little embarrassing. At one point I stoppen doing that. And when my kids asked if we go out on Halloween I said, you can go, if you like, but I won’t. It’s not for me.

Halloween party at home on the other hand can be very nice. But this walking around and asking for candy, no way.
