Halloween has changed alot since we were kids. I think the Poles are experiencing it not as we did—growing up door to door dressed as Superman—but with all the idiotic glorification of evil and bloodlust that goes with it nowadays.

There are appropriate ways for Christians to celebrate All Hallows’ Eve. Reveling in evil and death is not one of them.

I disagree.

Halloween is nearly unknown in Poland. I know, because I live in Poland.

American and even global culture glorifies death and violence and always has.

Don't believe it?
Look at a list of the top films of all time. Nearly every one has violence in it.
So what do humans find entertaining? Death, rape, violence, destruction.

Halloween has nothing to do with it!

The top three films are The Godfather 1, 2, &3. They are from when I was a kid.
