Summary: Everyone who doesn't believe this book is crazy!
Review: First of all,I am a Christian and I am not afraid to say that.Everyone who thinks that Halloween has nothing to do with Satan obviously should do some reading.The only reason that people believe that Halloween is harmless is because the day after is called All Saints' Day.People think that there are white witches and black witches.That's not true!Every kind of witch is of Satan.The only Saints on earth are God's people.The reason that Halloween was invented was because of the ancient Druids in England (they were believed to be white witches).They heard that on a certain day of Halloween (31st),that evil spirits would come out of hell and haunt everyone on the Earth.So the Druids decided to disguise themselves as spirits and offer treats to the evil spirits so they wouldn't hurt them.Halloween did NOT start with Christians.It started with a pack of witches.Every parent reading this should keep their kids away from anything of Halloween.I am only 12 years old and I know more about Satan than millions of grown-ups on the Earth.Everyone who wants to read up on everything I just said should read:He Came To Set The Captives Free by Rebecca Brown,M.D. There is also a sequel by the same author called:Prepare For War.They are wonderful books and everything in them has been confirmed by God himself.

Review: Halloween in no way has anything to do with Satinism. The word Halloween is derived from the christians who were trying to convert everyone, thus the invention of All Saitns Day, which later led to All Hallow's Eve being shortened to Halloween. Samhain is the original holiday that christianity could not wipe out despite their murderous ways and numerous burning at the stakes, so they relented and "christianized" ancient Pagan (which means pre-christian, not a worshiper of the devil or golden calfs)holidays and we now celebrate them still, they are called Christmas (originally Yule, a time of new life), and Easter (a time when the earth was reborn)and many more. This book is fine for those who waste life on opinions, but I prefer to spend my money on fact based non-fiction. It is a shame to see so many modern people ruining the fun of the harvest holiday for kids and adults alike, a holiday that was around for over 2,000 years BEFORE their religion. Halloween is not "new age" or modern, Christianity is. But I won't suggest Pagan or Wicca books to any Jesus worshippers, but History books. Have your religion where you pray in the name of a person, but please stop trying to force the world to bow down to your beliefs. That kind of force is what we wanted to avoid when we founded this country. One nation under GOD, not jesus or any other name, just GOD, whatever or whomever that may be to you. Writers should check their facts, and this book is an example of why that is so.

Summary: Best Book Ever!
Review: I have read a lot of books on Halloween and Satanism, and I can say that this book is just as good as the rest of them. It does not out do the subject, but merely presents it for what it is.The issue is focused well that it hits right on target with every single issue it mentions. The only bad thing about this book, is that it is all fact! I mean, the authors do not care to share their opinions on these matters, just the facts. Because of this, the issues are not talked about as much. Read this book, if you are seriously in need of a resource that confirms that Halloween and Satanism is not for us today.

Summary: Best Book Ever!
Review: I read this book when it first was published. The Fundie Christian biases are obvious. The research ( such as it was) was inaccurate and when noted ( rarely) came from biased sources. As others have noted,the author has slanted, distorted and lied about the subject and related areas. 1990 was also the time Fundie Christians had a big uproar about NOT participating at all in anything Halloweenish. Also was the heyday of the 'cult crime" and "satanic ritual abuse" hysteria, which were later proven to be hogwash ( See book " Satanic Panic') The only good thing this book is is that it shows how far some will go to excuse their irrational beliefs and ignore the objective facts.

Summary: Amazing.
Review: Sorry guys, I'm still not convinced that Satanism and paganism are in any way related, seeing as how paganism and the traditional (I emphasize the word "traditional") celebrations of this holiday were around long before the advent of Satan. I don't have anything against Christians - I do, how ever, have an opposition to bias, poorly researched, dare I say "fabricated" lies and nonsense, no matter who peddles them to the masses...
Two thumbs way up!
