Because of this woman's ignorance her children's souls are fair game for all and sundry evil demons.

We believe that every thing about Halloween is dark, and quite honestly Satan doesn’t realize that he has no chance with us unless we take a stand against all that is evil, for we cannot drink of the cup of the Lord and the devil’s. I want Satan to hear loud and clear that we will never be his! I don’t believe we can prove that to him while we are dressed in Halloween costumes, begging for candy and bobbing for apples." Oh boy. Yes, abstaining from Halloween will DEFINITELY keep bad things from happening to you and your family. No worries, dear, you and your six kids will no doubt be protected by your Lord and the rest of us will burn in Hell. Geez... I was somewhat bemused by that blog, until I got to the anti-Halloween post.

But I refuse to believe that anyone not already deeply embedded inside the marketing-industrial complex would use the phrase "create buzz for ... products and services".
