What about pumpkin carving? Or painting/markers, if you're afraid to give knives to a bunch of teenage boys. You could occupy them with crafts while you tell them about the history of the holiday.
And of course, candy. No European candy. If you can find those molar-crushing Mary Jane caramels, even better.
As for what to tell them about, I'm sure Google will turn up some good things. Mental Floss did a fun article about some Halloween history:
I like being impulsive and rubbing my fists against responsibility while eating peanut butter chunky ice cream, watching cheesy romance comedies, and writing terribly.

Then there's the phenom of "Haunted Houses." They're crazy popular here in Indy.
Glad I found your blog. Now I can read about all your adventures again!
I would start with the actual history, then go into the different customs. Start with the mundane, then go to the really weird!
Also, the halloween parades, costume parties, and trick or treating!
