INTRODUCTION
This introduction is particularly for the professed   Christian reader who "celebrates" Halloween / HELLoween. The one who   dresses their ignorant child like a devil, or a werewolf or a fairy witch or a   magic-working purple dinosaur named Barney. Do you think this is GOOD in the   sight of God? Perhaps you've never stopped to think about God's reaction to   horror houses and creep shows and tarot card readers and witches. Perhaps you   think Cinderella's fairy godmother is a "good witch". Maybe the   "Wizard" of Oz is your favorite movie. Maybe in the old days you   watched, "The Ghost and Mrs. (Somebody)". That's   necromancy--intercourse with the dead. Necromancer is a Bible word (e.g., Deut.   18:11). I used to be very ignorant of all righteousness. When I was of the   world, I probably watched more occult than most people. May I counsel you to   shake the fuzz out of your head? What we often call "nostalgia" are   the remnants of sorceries that have been worked on us. If you claim to know   Christ will you stop to consider WHAT GOD THINKS? 
Leviticus 19:31 REGARD NOT them that have familiar spirits, NEITHER SEEK AFTER wizards, to be DEFILED by them: I am the LORD your God.
20:6 And THE SOUL THAT TURNETH AFTER such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
2 Chronicles 33:6 And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and DEALT WITH a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, TO PROVOKE HIM TO ANGER.
Are you angry that these scriptures are before thee? Will you "celebrate" Satan's holiday anyway? If so, your rebellion fits right in with Halloween.
1 Samuel 15:23 For REBELLION is as the sin of WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY AND IDOLATRY. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
Sorcerers will go to the lake of fire. Do you allow your children to watch occultic "family" movies and videos? Do you let them read such books? You are selling your own child into the hand of the devil.
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
The rebellious may say, "But we are not practicing witchcraft," -- I wouldn't be so sure of that, but I won't argue with you because THE BIBLE SAYS DO NOT EVEN LEARN THE WAYS OF THE HEATHEN--
Jeremiah 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, LEARN NOT THE WAY of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
The latter part of the above verse speaks to astrology ("astrologer" is a Bible word as are "magician", "stargazers", "monthly prognosticators", etc.). People who claim to the know the Lord (and their children) call 900 numbers, get palms read, etc. They seek unto them that have familiar spirits and unto wizards that peep and that mutter (ref Is 8:19) INSTEAD of living righteously and seeking after God. By their fruits ye shall know them.

  WHERE DID HALLOWEEN COME FROM? 
Where Did Halloween Come From?
 What is Halloween really all about?
 Have you ever asked yourself, "Who in the world ever thought of the idea   of walking around in weird costumes, trick or treating, and/or putting a   carved-out pumpkin in your window?"  You will agree with me   that Halloween is really one of the strangest days of the year, is it not?   Perhaps you wonder how the celebration of such a day ever got started. In this   pamphlet I would like to answer this question for you!  
 Where and when did Halloween customs originate?  The many customs we have today in relation to Halloween have their origins in   the religious practices of the Romans and the Druids, therefore dating back   many centuries. The Romans worshiped various gods and on October 31, a special   feast was held in honor of Pomona, goddess of the fruit trees. Later, the   Druids, an ancient order of Celtic priests in Britain, made this feast an even   more extensive celebration by also honoring Samhain, lord of the dead. This   was normally done on November 1 and it was therefore decided to conveniently   honor both Pomona and Samhain on October 31 and November 1.  These Druids believed that on the night before November 1 (October 31) Samhain   called together wicked souls or spirits which had been condemned to live in   the bodies of animals during the year which had just transpired. Since they   were afraid of these spirits, they chose October 31 as a day to sacrifice to   their gods, hoping they would protect them. They really believed that on this   day they were surrounded by strange spirits, ghosts, witches, fairies, and   elves, who came out to hurt them. In addition to this, they also believed that   cats were holy animals, as they considered them to represent people who lived   formerly, and as punishment for evil deeds were reincarnated as a cat. All   this explains why witches, ghosts, and cats are a part of Halloween today.  The custom of trick-or-treating and the use of "jack-o'-lanterns"   comes from Ireland. Hundreds of years ago, Irish farmers went from house to   house, begging for food, in the name of their ancient gods, to be used at the   village Halloween celebration. They would promise good luck to those who gave   them good, and made threats to those who refused to give. They simply told the   people, "You treat me, or else I will trick you!"  The apparently harmless lightened pumpkin face or "jack-o'-lantern"   actually is an old Irish symbol of damned soul. A man named Jack was supposed   to be able unable to enter heaven due to his miserliness, and unable to enter   hell because he had played practice jokes on the devil. As a result, he was   condemned to wander over the earth with his lantern until judgment day (i.e.,   the end of the world). The Irish were so afraid that they would receive an   identical plight, that they began to hollow out pumpkins and place lighted   candles inside to scare away evil spirits from their home.
   When did the modern   Halloween celebration begin?   During the Middle Ages (about 600 years ago), the Roman Catholic Church at   that time, decided to make the change-over from pagan religion to Christianity   a bit easier, and therefore allowed the new converts to maintain some of their   pagan feasts. It was agreed, however, that from now on they would be   celebrated as "Christian" feasts. So instead of praying to their   heathen gods, they would now pray to, and remember the deaths of saints. For   this reason the church decided to call November 1 the "Day of All   Saints," and the mass to be celebrated on that day "Alhallowmass."   In consequence of this, the evening prior to this day was named, "All   Hallowed Evening" which subsequently was abbreviated as   "Halloween." In spite of this effort to make October 31 a "holy   evening," all the old customs continued to be practiced, and made this   evening anything BUT a holy evening!  Halloween today.  You would have to agree with me that also today Halloween is most definently   not a holy evening!! This annual event is far from the harmless, innocent   tradition it is promoted to be. Many dread this "holy" evening as   they think what could happen to them, their property, and/or their children!   Consistent with its historical roots, this evening is charecterized by fear,   and frequently arouses dormant fears in many. The fear generated by this event   is symbolic of the fear which plagues so many in our moden, morally bankrupt   world. It is a gripping fear for an unknown and very threatening future, a   fear caused by a gnawing inner emptiness.  
 An alternative for October 31  For many in this land, this day stands for the very opposite of fear!! On this   day in 1517, a German monk and professor of theology, Dr. Martin Luther,   courageously published the simple, straightforward truth of the Bible. God's   Word, which he has rediscovered after a long and intense spiritual struggle.   God used the truth of his own Word to give Luther the inner peace he had so   desperately longed for. The Bible pointed him the way to God Himself, and when   he found God through Jesus Christ, he found this peace which passes all   understanding! He himself stated that it was as if he entered Paradise itself.  As a result of his courageous act on October 31, 1517, the Bible came into the   hands of the common people again, and many, who as he, were deeply troubled by   sin and it's consequences, found peace with God as well!  It was God himself, Who used Martin Luther to bring His message of deliverance   into the hands and hearts of sinners, in order to bring them back to Himself,   and give then TRUE peace!! It is therefore with deep gratitude to God that we   wish commemorate October 31, as it reminds us of God's gracious and mighty   deeds nearly five centuries ago.  It is the Word of God, and its precious truth, rediscover by Martin Luther,   which still gives true peace to many today. In the Bible ALONE will you find   the ONLY answer to the deep yearning of your heart. ONLY when God becomes your   God through Jesus Christ, you will find rest at last and you will answer to   the true purpose of human existence, namely, to honor, serve, and enjoy our   Creator!!  Is the God of heaven and earth YOUR God? If not, seek Him TODAY, while He   still may be found!!  God, manifested in Jesus Christ, invited you Himself in His Word. Turn to the   gospel of Matthew and read chapter 11:28,  "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will   give you rest!"  Those who insist on seeking inner peace without being reconciled to God   through Jesus Christ, will have to endure eternal misery without God. God does   not desire the eternal misery of man and therefore He also extends this   invitation in Ezekiel 33:11,  "As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the   wicked (i.e. Sinner) but that the wicked turn from his way and live! Turn ye,   turn ye from your evil ways: for why will ye die?" 
Jesus Christ is the ONLY Way to Heaven
