20 + years ago when I were but a nipper no one seemed to do much for Halloween. I would be dimly aware that it was halloween, but I wouldn't do anything to celebrate it. We used to carve pumpkins for Guy Fawkes night when we would have a big party. That's kind of the way it has stayed for me. I am aware that it is halloween, but I won't be doing anything differently. Not because I disapprove or in any kind of grinchy way, but just because it's never occurred to me to do so.
I should also add even when I lived in London I've never had Trick or Treaters.
Now if the supermarket displays are to be believed Halloween is a pretty massive event so am I living in the 80's. Is it second only to Christmas in the revelry you will be engaging in, or had it not occurred to you it was even today?

It's American BS.
We get the trick or treaters every year, usually they're around 15-16.
Ringleader of the Cambridge cartel, pedal champ and king of the dirt boxes (down to 21)
Big Tesco last week had aisles for Halloween, bonfire night, diwali and Christmas.
When I was a child it was all about turnips and the term "trick or treat" was known only in the panels of Peanuts.
When the kids bang on the door you show them a tray full of sweets. They each take one and when they've started chewing, you say "One in 10 of those sweets is laced with rat poison but I can't tell you which ones they were".
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
