Halloween is when spirits roam the earth, teenagers roam the streets
and parents spend a small fortune

When, over 10 years ago, my first-born sang Halloween's Coming at her
nursery, accompanied by witchy music and brandishing a broomstick
lovingly crafted by her dad, I was charmed. Halloween was new not just
to me, but also to Britain. Before that it was just an obscure
American tradition and a John Carpenter horror movie. Now, 10 years
later, it's become a fixture on the British calendar, but my
enthusiasm has curdled. Halloween is the new Christmas, and I am its
Scrooge.
