In our recent online poll we asked: “Has Halloween become too over the top and Americanised?”

Over 400 Mail readers took part in the poll, and 70% agree that Halloween has become ‘too over the top’ while 30% disagree.

Darren Corbett said: “I celebrate as much or as little as my children want I don’t do it or care about others opinions the only thing I care about Is that I am setting an example of fun and laughter for my children in a world of doom and gloom.”

Al Robinson said: “Could say the same thing about Christmas to be fair.

“Live and let live. If people want to have a bit of fun and spend money on stuff then let them. If you don't, then don't. Simple as that.”

Karl Schut said: “I thought someone had their Christmas decorations up last week but it was Halloween stuff.”

Amy-leigh Norris said: “No such thing as 'over the top' you either celebrate or you dont when you have kids it's all just a bit of fun.”
