From the US so it's obviously big there, though it isn't quite what it was when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s.

Live in the Netherlands now and it's not much of a thing outside of the occasional bar deciding to make a thing out of it or maybe North American immigrants throwing a party.

My wife and I are planning to move to the Netherlands by 2030 and what we'll miss most is Halloween and Thanksgiving. We love the fall season of holidays in the US.

We'll definitely host some American-style Halloween parties if the neighborhood would enjoy them. And decorate our home outside if that's allowed.
