That's a good point. The few Halloween stories Barks made were changed into
"Carnival" stories in Holland. Except "Trick or Treat", which had an
explanation on the letters page of the comic: "Every year they have a
celebration in Duckburg and in whole America...". "Trick or Treat" was
first published in Holland in February/March, so for some years I thought
Halloween was an American alternative for our Easter feasts or so.
