The town of Morton, near Peoria in central Illinois, is the self-proclaimed Pumpkin Capital of the World.

Previous Answer: Fear of Halloween is called Samhainophobia. Those who suffer from Samhainophobia see no playfulness or joy in Halloween. They are frightened by the costumes, by the loud sounds of firecrackers and excited voices, and by the sense of wildness and otherworldliness that the night seems to conjure forth. For them, Halloween is best avoided, and they will take pains to stay indoors, keeping their homes dark and devoid of decorations, in order to discourage trick-or-treaters.
