Do you think Halloween should be spelled " Halloween", or " Holloween?"?
I think it should be spelled Holloween. I dont know why. I think it sounds a little more spooky or something when its spelled Holloween. lol
I know the meaning behind the word Halloween. I dont need you to explain it to me. Just give me your opinion and leave it at that! Thank you!

But maybe people would mispronounce it if it were spelled Holloween. They might make the first 'o' a long sound instead of a short sound.

But english spellings are hard enough, so it's best to keep halloween spelling the same as the sound of the word. ;)

Halloween!
I think if it was spelled like Holloween then it would be pronounced "Ho-lo", yes?

Well, it is pronounced Holloween. And I like it because I really love the word 'hollow'.

The term came from "all Hallows" and old English word meaning "all saints". Therefore, it should be "Halloween."
