Eh, let people have fun. In some cultures celebrating death is quite important and more than "just dress up and eat sweets". so I understand events like Día de Muertos

The point of Halloween is to take the most pure things in the entire world and twist them into sexy, only-slightly recognizable versions of those things. Sexy Mother Teresa? Amen! Sexy Minion? Banana! Sexy Moo Deng? *Whatever weird-ass hippo noise of confirmation*! All while eating candy and puking your guts out.

Only good about it were the movies. Pretty fun to watch if you ask me.

What's your opinion about it?

Should see it as remembering the dead and their spirits are closest to this reality on Halloween.

I'd say it's not about celebrating the death but more about acknowledging and recognising it? Sure, now it's like kind of mocking fears and trying to find comfort in the unsettling, putting it on some pedestals, which isn't necessarily a bad thing in itself. On top of that many ancient cultures had harvest or remembrance festivals around this time of year, long before it became what it is today with the 'cosplays', candy and decorations.
I think it's like a night where people can explore what scares them, wear what they can’t in everyday life, and express creativity without judgment, for example in younger people it can have their imagination in higher gear as well as some sort of a feeling of community. It can also be seen as art or some sort of escapism. It's less about glorifying death and more about 'living with it'? Movies are fine but I think it's just a sample of a bigger idea, the way I see it is that fear can be a form of entertainment or art. As Bansky said, “Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable".

I am Irish so it is in my culture, but for some reason I have very bad lucky in October, my whole life, this has made me dislike Halloween.

Remembering and celebrating the dead isn't celebrating death itself. Big difference.

Just wanted to point out the great Banksy quote.

And you can challenge the horse to a duel and take its beer if you win! I think?

So, yes. Getting all sexxed up and fighting horsemen! That's what defines Halloween.

I think you might be right, from what i have read you have to sing songs and rhymes back and forth. If the mari lwyd wins you have to let it into your house to drink and eat, I am not sure what happens if you win though lol So you might be able to take its beer xD

XD Eh, close enough! We're not here to make the rules, we're here to break them!
