Growing up on the 50's Halloween was never associated with religion (good or evil) but just plain old fashion fun. All the kids dressed up in various costumes, mostly hand made and we wore them to school and gave out candy and dunked for apples and had cake and prizes for best coctomes. Even the churches had Halloween parties. I recall all of the kids in my school participated with the exception of one family who didn't allow any participation in music, dancing or television. I remember as a kid feeling sorry or them.
