It was used in the dark ages, the government would go to you at your door and as for the taxes (hint when kids come to the door they say trick or treat) and if the people don't pay those taxes they get their head cut off (like in the song they is if you don't I'll pull down your underwater) so there is a consequence for both in the dark ages and modern times

Halloween commemorates the start of Noah's flood. The dates vary because the calendar has changed. Lots of specially trained smart people have looked hard for evidence of a world wide flood. They found two. Neither of them was Noah's flood of 2349 BC. Nevertheless, people all over the world recorded a flood that year and they all agreed on all the details. You might be surprised to learn what actually happened. This is long, but it's all there: http://saturniancosmology.org/ If you don't care to read the whole book, here is the section about Noah: http://saturniancosmology.org/noah.php

Halloween began as a day to remember the martyrs of Christianity. Through the years people adopted pagan practices to celebrate it. This is why people often associate Halloween with other religious/cultural observances. People also associate it with them due to the time of year it falls on but it wasn't always celebrated on oct 31. Halloween is known as All Hallows' Eve.
