Everyone participates in the American version of Halloween, though, just like everyone eats the American take on pizza, not the Italian original.

You still use the original though, American halloween is just a imperfect mold for commercial use.

Dressing up on halloween and eating sweets is part of the original. America just commercialized it and probably invented going from door to door.

Nah.
We have a bunch of very old and local rites in some parts of germany where kids carve lights out of sugarbeets and then go as "beetghosts" from door to door, say a rhime and get sweets.
(Back then apples and shit because people were poor.)
Is a rare and dying rite though, but it means there where such festivals in different parts of europe and its probably not an american invention.
South germany is celto-germanic, irish are celts too, so maybe there is a connection.

>It is believed that the custom of making jack-o'-lanterns at Halloween began in Ireland. In the 19th century, "turnips or mangel wurzels, hollowed out to act as lanterns and often carved with grotesque faces," were used at Halloween in parts of Ireland and the Scottish Highlands. In these Celtic-speaking regions, Halloween was also the festival of Samhain and was seen as a time when supernatural beings (the Aos Sí), and the souls of the dead, roamed the earth. The belief that the souls of the dead roamed the earth at Halloween was also found in other parts of Europe. Jack-o'-lanterns were also made at Halloween in Somerset (see Punkie Night) during the 19th century.
Possibly depending on when those very old rites in germany sprang up.
