out of habit
When I was younger, I wasn't allowed for religious reasons. My Mother also didn't allow us to see scary movies as well. So, she was correct in that.
But now, I love scary movies. I am a christian, and I don't celebrate Halloween. Not for the same reasons as why I was younger. I just don't get into Halloween now out of habit since I was not raised to do so. I also don't celebrate because not only is it overrated, but also some crazy psychopaths come out Halloween night.
But you are absolutely right and I agree with you in your observations. I've asked myself those same questions before.
