I love Halloween, unfortunately I'm not doing anything this year but I usually do. I love dressing up and partying, I went as a vampire last year
It's just good fun, nobody in my country takes it seriously as a religious festival anymore (same with Christmas and Easter tbh), it's just an excuse for every to dress scary and slutty and have a piss-up. I am here for it.
Halloween is actually of Pagan origin I think, and it's the only Pagan festival we still celebrate that Christianity hasn't bastardised and tried to claim it started.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
