We British officially don't "get" Halloween.

Bullshit. You
ENGLISH don't get Halloween but my Irish boss was telling me all about her childhood Halloween experiences. Admittedly, they merge Halloween together with Bonfire Night because they don't see the point of demonising Guy Fawkes.
Speaking of which, apparently Margaret Thatcher tried to promote Halloween in England so that people would put all their effort in to costumes instead of firecrackers the following week.
