The what on the where?

I think one thing you're missing is that it's not an obligation. Probably half the houses on my street do trick or treating - if they have their porch light off, they're not doing it. We didn't do trick or treating last year, we had our light off and nobody bothered us. This year we just put out a bowl filled with a 15$ bag of candy and we had maybe 5 kids come up throughout the night, take one or two pieces, and then left. It's really a non issue if you don't want to participate.

All saints Day is definitely a thing in America, just to a much smaller extent nowadays. Most religious holidays (especially Christian ones outside of easter and Christmas) don't really get much reverence because a lot of the protestant sects in the US don't practice them. Some catholics do honor days like All Saints Day and Lent, but most Americans don't. It's just a fundamental difference in how religion actually affects the culture here - even though Christianity is the predominant religion, many of its traditional holidays don't really mean much to the general populace.
