What happened to the Halloween haters?

I sort of remember as a teenager that there was this movement to get rid of Halloween.

I recall it centered around some objection to having kids dress up as ghosts and goblins.

I also remember that people wanted to change the name to “Fall Festival” or “Harvest Celebration” and the like.

Kids were supposed to dress like farmers and, I suppose, soy beans.

Anyway, it suddenly seemed to disappear.

Where did the Halloween haters go?
