Huh. Wonder how it got so skewed, then. I've heard about celebrations to honor the dead, but these days Halloween seems all about the sweets, goofy costumes, and campy movies.

Then again, I hear Christmas used to be a lot less commercialized, too. Some people say it actually snagged a bunch of pegan traditions.

[Riku doesn't really delve into that kinda stuff all that often, so it's really all based on hearsay.]
