Hallowe'en

In Germany, according to Anja, Hallowe'en is too American, or too pagan, or something. "Halloween is not the tip of an iceberg of New Heathendom that's sweeping central Europe. German Halloween has been created a) by Halloween-specials in US-sitcoms and more importantly b) the sweets-industry."

Is a new heathendom sweeping central Europe? The revenge of Buffy, im Bann der Dämonen on Transylvania?
