It's purely superstition. If someone is dead, there is no point in praying for them - still trying to pray them out of purgatory. Good luck with that.
I have a friend who was adopted into a Satanist home. She later in her life found Christ. Every year Halloween is one of the darkest times for her as she remembers just how ugly, and sick things were for her growing up at this time of year. As Christians, we should know better than to have any involvement with one of the darkest, sickest days of the year being celebrated. I agree, it should be called Day of Death, and people should wake up and realize that Halloween is not just about dressing up like some comic figure, or superhero and getting candy.
