It's a British thing, or atleast we do it here. (The whole fireworks on halloween.)
I'm English and I've never heard of people letting fireworks of at halloween.
In fact no one celebrates halloween much round here at all.
I dressed up at work on saturday night and we made a cocktail celled witches brew but only 4 other people came in the pub dressed up and I didn't have one trick or treater yesterday.
Fireworks randomly go off at this time of year. Like Christopher said they have gone on sale for bonfire night so there are people messing around with them.
Same here I am also English and I've also never heard of people letting fireworks of at Halloween. But I have heard fireworks going off at other different times of the year that are not Bonfire Night (November 5 UK) or New Year's Day (January 1st).
Anyway despite living in the UK I still get some Americans tourists around where I live celebrating Independent Day(July 4th US) with fireworks. (I have no problem with the American tourists seting off fireworks on Independent Day here in the UK.)
The only time I find fireworks annoying is when people set them off when the date is not on any of the dates above.
