Absolutely not.

In the modern world people see Halloween as an Autumn celebration, a day where kids dress up, trick or treat and get candy, a day to party, or a day to watch scary movies.

It has evolved from a few different areas; the Pagan festival of Samhain (pronounced Sow-ween) which is the Pagan New Year, an autumn celebration, the autumn equinox, and a day of remembrance for departed souls.

The Christian/Catholic celebration of All Souls Day or All Saints Day falls on November 1st. (This day and/or Halloween was also once called All Hallows Eve)

It is a day to commemorate and remember faithful departed Christians and loved ones.

Dia de los muertos or the day of the dead falls on November 2nd. It is also a day to remember departed loved ones. To celebrate their lives, cook their favorite meals, and to rejoice in the fact you will one day be with them again.

So from all this has evolved Halloween. There is absolutely nothing to do with 'the devil' about it.
