Best Answer

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") can celebrate Halloween if they choose to. Some choose not to, but the majority do celebrate. Congregations often hold Halloween parties or Harvest Festivals the week preceeding Halloween.

Just because Mormons have high standards doesn't mean they are party poopers who aren't festive.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) may choose to celebrate Halloween if they want. Most Mormons in America do, but some do not. The Church has no doctrine or guidelines about Halloween or other holidays.

Mormons do believe in The Bible, which states "Abstain from all appearance of evil." (1 Thessalonians 5:22) and therefore many Mormons who celebrate Halloween choose to avoid costumes of witches, devils, and Zombies for more fun and friendly costumes.

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are welcome to participate in Halloween celebrations if they choose to do so. The Church has no official stance on Halloween, but it is a basic belief of Church members that "If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things" (Articles of Faith, 13) and to "abstain from all appearance of evil" (1 Thessalonians 5:22). For this reason, those who do choose to celebrate Halloween generally do it in a fun way rather than a scary or evil way. Church members are advised to avoid anything involving witchcraft, magic, Satanism, or other evil.

LDS Congregations in the United States often hold Halloween or Harvest parties around the time of Halloween. Halloween isn't a popular holiday in most other cultures.
