Halloween is gaining ground in Mexico, but in a country wracked by drug cartel violence there are real fears about ghosts, ghouls and skeletons walking the streets.

Rather, in at least three violence-plagued cities in Mexico, authorities have cautioned residents about masks, which are frequently used by cartel gunmen in Mexico to hide their identities.
