What's American (or was when I was a kid) is trick & treating, pumpkins/jack o lanterns and decorating houses.
Hallowe'en used to be a lot more low key, the focus on ghosts and witches and scary stories. We had bobbing for apples (which was a bit shit tbh) and toffee apples. But it had a charm to it.
And then everything focused straight to bonfire night. Kids used to make a 'guy', some old clothes stuffed with something with a football for a head. They would hang around with it outside shops and ask passers by for a "penny for the guy".
Times change and we have to accept it. It just grates with some of us to have American culture envelope our own. But that's how it is.

There are a few reasons why some people may not celebrate Halloween, including:
Religious reasons
Some religious groups, such as Jehovah's Witnesses, Protestants, and Evangelical Christians, do not celebrate Halloween.
Secular reasons
Some families choose not to celebrate Halloween for secular reasons.
Safety concerns
Some parents may be concerned about letting their children play outside after dark.
British colonialism
In the 19th century, Great Britain tried to stamp out Halloween due to its Victorian social code. The British who colonized Australia and New Zealand may have brought this skepticism with them.
Cultural colonization
In Australia, the backlash against Halloween is seen as a continuation of British imperialism.
Halloween is a popular tradition in the United States, much of Europe, and Japan. However, it is generally ignored in mainland China, the Middle East, and most of Africa.
