Instead of Halloween, Dia de los Difuntos is celebrated (observed?) in the Dominican Republic. I'm interested in learning about any ceremonies, customs, stories, anecdotes, etc. about what goes on October 31st.

Not much. Some go to church, but there isn't much. Commerce here is trying to intorduce Halloween, but the locals don't have a clue and no one in their right mind would send their children out to beg "Trick or Treat!"

That said there are lots of different ceremonies that the experts in folklore can talk about.
