Where I live now, in the suburbs, Halloween is observed but the town sort of keeps a lid on it. Trick or treating is between 1 and 5 p.m. the Sunday before Halloween. Halloween night seems like any other night for the most part. That's probably in the interest of reducing mayhem, not religious. The world has gotten to be a more dangerous place than it was when you and I were kids. The stuff I hear from even my younger daughter (freshman) and her friends about things in their lives is scarier than any Halloween.
