No, It's a Pagan, Witches, Satan, Dead, Zombies, Bad Luck, Spirits Day. Halloween has nothing to do with being a Christian and Christians followers of Christ do not celebrate this day.
There are several legends or stories as to how Halloween came about one that I find very interesting is that it came about that you go trick or treating or door-to-door to get candy to keep the evil spirits away from you and your family. Once again that has nothing to do with being a Christian.
"Trick or treat" sucks. In my little village here in the UK some of the older residents are really upset. How did we import this hateful corruption of the eve of All Saints day?
There's not much trick-or-treating on this side of the Pacific. You'd better start feeling sorry for Australian kids, too.
Such a small matter. No. Kids will be just fine without a couple hours a year of trick-or-treating. Let's have some perspective here.
I feel bad for children whose parents are junkies, alcoholics, pedophiles or deadbeats. I feel still worse for children born in third world countries without clean water, adequate food or health care, or kids caught in the middle of wars; no matter what beliefs their parents hold.
No Halloween, you say? Let's not get carried away.
No. Because those that don't go trick or treating almost always have a fall festival of some kind at their church. They still get candy.
I know many Christians who go trick or treating. In fact, I've never met one who hasn't gone. I myself am Catholic and we had Halloween parties all the time (in our Catholic School) and went trick-or-treating. Things haven't changed where I live. 🎃
I think there is a majority of Christians that participate in Halloween activities .. Not the minority. Much the same in regards to the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, and the tooth fairy .
It is my understanding that the Jehovah's Witnesses don't celebrate Halloween. No sure what others don't
Here a quote and a link. I celebrated it as a child and I I see nothing wrong with doing so.
"Halloween’s supposed occult connections are superficial and misleading. Halloween is steeped in Catholic theology and piety, and besides, it’s just so much damn fun. We couldn’t have arranged a more perfect synthesis of devotion and festivity had we tried. When you get to the core of what the holiday is, you find an overwhelmingly Catholic Christian holiday. It should be recognized and celebrated as such—warts, spider webs, and all."

I think it just depends on what brand of Christian you happen to be. I suspect that, if you searched long enough you could find one segment or another to disapprove of almost anytjhing.
No.
No, Halloween is a pagan festival of the dead.
Deut 18: 10-12. There must never be anyone among you who . . . Consults ghosts or spirits, or calls up the dead.”
