This guy, the Christian creation representing ALL evil and most of the fun sins Christians like.

It seems that nowadays, according to Jay Leno, kids have forgotten the reason for the season:

The whole culture, to keep from exploding with hypocrisy, minimizes the danger with jokes.
Halloween (Samhain) is a time for scary things, our own U.S. Day of the Grateful Dead.
Sunday, Oct. 29 will be Old Town Pasadena's Halloween celebration (oldpasadena.org)

The remember the dead, to honor the dead, to remember our mortality is an ancient practice for the people of Mexico and Los Angeles, as well as Buddhists throughout Asia (marana-sati) like Obon in the Zen and Shinto practices of Japan.
