Halloween is all but dead in my area, Seattle Washington. Only pockets of neighborhoods put up decoration. If you are able to get to my front door I don't care what you're wearing or how you got there. You get a treat. Anyone elitist with this is literally helping to kill the spirit of Halloween. The holiday hardly exists, stop trying to kill it more.
Although no trick or treat involved, I feel the same about Christmas decorations in neighborhoods. When I moved to the states in my prep teen years, I remember the sheer amount of decorations everywhere and I was beautiful to see and experience. No if feels 1 out of 10 houses put up decorations. I'm not even a Christian and I enjoyed seeing them so I think of it as more cultural than religious
