I grew up in the US with a lot of Halloween celebrations. There's also the Mexican Dia De Los Muertos on 1 Nov, different from Halloween but similar in recognising our ancestors and those who have passed on ahead of us.
Halloween is slowly making it's way to NZ, still not a lot of trick or treaters and you are generally looked at oddly when you dress up.
