For some people Halloween is satanic because thats what they want to do on that day. They want to celebrate gore and death and evil and create fear.
Alot of people think that Satanic only refers to worshipping Satan which is a literal definition but does not encompass what Christians mean when they call something Satanic. Satanic in a loose sense just means to uplift, glorify or celebrate things which are evil.

Halloween started out as all Saints Day which is a Christian holiday.
Slowly mixed with pagan traditions which are anti-Christian.

So basically its what ever you make it but yes alot of Halloween traditions celebrate things such as witchcraft which are against the Christian faith so some Christians do not partake in any part of the holiday to keep far away from doing any wrong or celebrating anything which is evil.

@REMsleep Actually its started off as a Celtic feast and was later adopted by Christianity. N

@JimboSaturn Yes I knew about this but it depends on how you choose to frame the conversation. The exact time frame and reasons are in dispute so its not settled history.

The church wanted to offer a celebration in the fall. Maybe this was so that Christians could enjoy a fall festival that wasn't pagan. Maybe the date choosen for All Hallows Eve was a coincidence because end of harvest is a great time to celebrate?
Maybe the church was hoping to squash the Celtic/pagan holiday by replacing with a religious one.
The exact thought process and motivation of the Pope at the time are not completely known.

Gradually people meshed them together so I still think that what I said still stands as correct.
All Hallows day was a Christian holiday and celebrated with All Saints Day.
The Celtic holiday had to do with ghouls and the dead and communication with the other world.

@REMsleep The Catholic church made a holiday of even their own pagan holidays. The Celtic religion at the time was not Satanic it was just not Christian. Now like in Latin America, death is not seen as evil but a part of life Gods plan. I guess I don't like Christians who think that everything that is not Christian is evil

@JimboSaturn Well I'm not sure if you are putting me into that camp or not but.....
What was celebrated then in Europe is not exactly the same as what is celebrated now specifically in the US which is my frame of reference.
For Christians to acknowledge any source of power other than the almighty God is wrong and blashemous and damnation to our soul so as within any culture words have different meanings and cultural references.
The word Satanic means something different usually to a non Christian. Its taken literally to a non Christian as in devil worshipping or something.

The word evil is even taken a bit different because in a Christian sense anything which is not good is of evil (theistic meaning).
I would not say that this meaning is correct if speaking strickly with non believers. ( standard English secular definition)
So the way that we speak is a source of confusion for some.
