More than 60% of those age 15 to 20 love a good horror flick, compared to just 20% of those 34 to 54 year olds, and a mere 5% of those 55 and older. This interest in all things spooky begins early in life. Many of us no doubt recall growing up with stories of ghosts, witches and haunted houses. Was it all in good fun? Perhaps, but there are enough adults who continue to believe in these things to scare us all. According to a 2005 survey, 28% of Canadians think houses can be haunted, 24% believe we can hear from or mentally communicate with the dead and 13% believe in witches.

But in the on-going battle against good and evil, good triumphs, since 56% of us believe in angels. Canadians opinion is divided about characters who make their presence known on Halloween.
