>Hallowe'en isn't an American holiday. It combines medieval Christian All Saints with a far more ancient Celtic festival of Samhein.
Yes. Which is very popularly celebrated in its current form in the USA and is being (to some degree) also being celebrated around the world as a result of American cultural exports.
Halloween as the majority of the world knows it is an American holiday. Other countries that have (some form of) Halloween celebrations are not doing it due to Irish influence or something.
