When I was a child growing up just outside London in the sixties, Halloween was just an occasion for creepy films on the telly. I was only vaguely aware of trick or treat and pumpkin lanterns as USn customs read about in books or seen on TV programmes from across the Atlantic. Guy (rhymes with buy) Fawkes (rhymes with talks) night was much more important.
