Surely it is not the fault of the USA that Spaniards take to Halloween? Any country is allowed to try to export their culture to the best of their ability.
Point your gun somewhere else, namely at all the Spanish media and shops who are happy to sell Halloween and rake in the money, and all the Spanish parents who happily go along with it.
I know Spain very well, estuve viviendo allí medio año, and I think there is a little bit too much "blame everybody else"-attitude in your country. You got yourselves into this economic meltdown, wasting EU founds and investing in White Elephants all over the country, so stop the whining and pull yourselves up a bit. You cannot expect 1st world/Northern European lifestyle and mod-cons if you don't produce goods efficiently and organise society to higher standards.
