Maybe it's because I grew up in a rural area and we had to literally walk kilometers in the pitch dark with falshlights between each house....we could never have gotten that much candy even if we kept at it all night! But it was sooooo much fun...going out in the dark and scaring each other....we made our own costumes...pretty much nobody bought them. We planned our costumes for months in advance and put so much time and effort and thought into them...I think as most things, we have lost the fun of Halloween to commercialism...we buy or kids costumes that require zero thought or imagination from them...then we take them out in suburbia from house to houes until they have five mountains of candy and it is all about how much candy you can get and how quickly. I just find it sad and backwards.
