I'm Catholic and I don't see any disrespect at all. My daughter who attends Catholic Schools is going to a Halloween "boo fest" at the school. You might remember that Christmas was once a pagan holiday and that George W Bush was once a drunk.

Things do change...Thank God.

Actually, its originally a Pagan Holiday (Roman's Pomona Day and the Celtic festival of Samhain)..the Church's All Saints Day came after - to try to wipe the Pagan aspect out. It has nothing to do with Satan/devil...that aspect is pure 20th Century Hollywood nonsense.
