how is halloween celebrated in other countries

[Octavius]

Halloween is celebrated in much of the Western world, though most commonly in the United States, the British Isles, Canada and sometimes in Australia and New Zealand. Irish, Scots and other immigrants brought older versions of the tradition to North America in the 19th century. Most other Western countries have embraced Halloween as a part of American pop culture in the late 20th century.

In other cultures it is compared with festivals of the dead see Ching Ming Festival (China) Obon Festival (Japan) El D�a de los Muertosor Day of the Dead (Mexico)Halloween (United Kingdom, United States).

If you explore those alternatives you should find other ways of celebrating it.

In England people tend to celebrate Guy Fawkes Night more than Hallowe'en, hence why I said that it wasn't celebrated as much. Guy Fawkes Night, or Bonfire Night, is on 5 November.
