But customs certainly vary, both in time and space. I now live in the city in which I grew up. It would never have occurred to me when I was a child to go trick or treating, but I do remember doing Penny-For-The-Guy one year. It's the other way around now.

No. Halloween is a foreign custom and I would have been just as taken by surprise if a Muslim neighbour asked if we were going to observe Ramadan.
We don't have any customs here that come close to Halloween.
You would have to learn it from sesame street or similar. I don't watch those kind of shows.
Edit... There are no pumpkins on show anywhere around here.
