My family doesn't celebrate Holloween. I've only been trick-or-treating a couple of times when I was little. This isn't necessarily for "religious" purposes, but I just think the "Holi"day is stupid. Now, I watch "horror" movies like the Exorcist or Poltergeist...I don't watch unrealistic horror movies (like Scream...movies like these aren't scary anyway). Meaning, I only watch horror movies that are about supernatural things and include spirits and so forth. I do this because I believe in the existence of these entities...I'm not celebrating their existence (which is what SOME may say Holloween does). However, in the horror movies I watch, good (God) conquers evil. Given the history of Holloween, it doesn't sound like something I want my kids to participate in. I will BUY them candy and they can even dress up like their favorite superhero (not something like a witch or a monster) at SCHOOL. But, as far as their being all gun-ho about Holloween and running around saying "happy Holloween," I don't think so.

In my opinion, that's not the least bit hypocritical.
