The return of All Hallow's Eve
Every year it seems that Halloween gets increasingly commercial. The American custom of trick and treating is becoming more and more popular among children and teenagers - sometimes with frightening consequences.

It's an attempt to reclaim a festival which in centuries past, was known as All Hallow's Eve.
