User blog comment:LondonDauntlessCorvair963/The TRUE Origins of Halloween (Not to offend religious peeps)/@comment-3404979-20131031233829/@comment-4724333-20131101004832

@Bowser: Halloween started out as an event that "the triduum of Hallowmas, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed believers." That doesn't sound too bad, in my opinion. And again, I'm not advocating that everyone fill their yards with decorations of zombies and gravestones and whatever, but good gosh, I don't consider dressing up or eating candy as being indicative of "hearts... full of darkness".
