There's a huge history behing the actual significance of halloween, it actually started out as a some-what religious holiday to pay tribute to lost loved ones (forget what religion or country). Now anyways, it's basically just an excuse to dress up and get drunk. As you get older, it's basically an excuse for girls to wear really slutty clothes. It's just a fun holiday.
