Whatever terminology you choose to use it was a fun time for us.
Our school Alliance Academy Int'l holds a Harvest Festival every year. This year they had a Super Hero theme. The boys were batman, both of them.
Ben enjoyed volunteering again this year (sarcasm) for the pie throwing booth.
And I enjoyed (no sarcasm) throwing some pies in my husbands face only because it raises money for the class:)
Later that week we had our own fun. We had a Pumpkin Patch Dress-up Party for the boys and their friends. A lot of the kids at our party were Ecuadorian who never experienced pumpkin patch parties, trick or treating or anything of that sort. We painted pumpkins (notice above our pumpkins here are pointy and small), we bobbed for apples, trick or treated, had a pinata and ate!!!
We ended our celebrations with a 4 day weekend because in this country Dia de los Muertos (Day of the dead) is a holiday. Unlike Halloween its a spiritual day where catholic people go and pay their respect at cemeteries to their loved ones who have passed away. They eat this yummy bread called Guaguas de pan
and drink this hot blueberry drink called colada morada. It was fun to enjoy 
a little of both worlds festivities here with our family.
