No trick or treaters

[Slashmaster]

I feel so sad...

I went out and got a bunch of candy because I know my condo complex has a lot of kids. I hear them screaming outside a lot while they play. All of our condos have backdoors that face a communal garden/yard area. I was so certain the kids would go condo to condo back there :C

It's now 8 PM and I haven't seen a single trick or treater...

Did you guys get any? I remember back in the day when there'd be streams of trick or treaters down every street... now it's like everyone's afraid to let their kids out. So sad.

It's because of the idiots that drug their kit-kats lol. I got like 3, but I'm in back woods.

That's all urban legend anyhow.

I think our doorbell rang three or four times. The whole trick-or-treat scene does seem to be fading into memory. We still live in an active t-or-t neighborhood from time to time, but more often than not, it's very quiet...even in hoods with lots of kids.

We live several miles from town and most of our neighbors are Amish, so we don't get any trick-or-treaters here. In town a few local businesses and even fewer houses participate. I think I saw maybe 3-4 small businesses handing out candy and 2-3 houses. Also you can only do it between 5:00pm and 6:00pm. Really sad.

We took my 4 year old brother in law went trick or treating the other day a few towns over (they do it the 29th) and we hit up every place in town and he didn't even get enough candy to fill a sandwich bag. I remember when I was a kid and everyone used pillow cases and usually came close to filling them. Trick or treating didn't even start til it got dark, either.

One thing I don't miss, though... Teenagers trick or treating! Especially the teens who don't even wear costumes and the little hoochie mammas who dress like prostitutes. To me this is a kids holiday. Of course, I would get a little bit of satisfaction scaring a bunch of annoying teenagers away with a couple T's and snakes hanging from me when I open the door.

I let my teenage son go out...but he was escorting his younger brother, so it makes sense. I didn't mind the two teens that came to our door tonight...was a chance to get rid of at least some of the candy I'd bought. LOL

I often answer the door with a big snake hanging around my neck...it's always a LOT of fun to see people's reactions when they realize it's REAL.

Not this year though. This neighborhood is primarily old people...VERY ULTRA conservative old people who tend to be a bit busy-body-ish. Very sweet folks...but not a good place to prance about in public with a snake.

none here either. but I know now a lot of towns ( in Delaware ) have a mandate of 12 and under and must be in costume.
Yeah I remember back in the day it was the plastic pumkin bucket and in the car we each had a pillow case. I also remember actually fillnig the pillow case so full that we had to get a small plastic bag to put our over flow in. Now a day it more worried about being mugged, and vechile vandlised
sorry if spellnig off I had a rough day

We took our 3 daughters out the borough had it 6-8pm and the houses giving out candy had their porch lights on and they had fire trucks driving around giving out stuff too.... between the 3 kids they got a garbage bag full of drinks, candy and chips (and even a tooth brush)... although will say there was less houses and less kids than last year ... but it was cold and raining

My girlfriend wanted to do that with the snake, but I told her no, it was too cold. Maybe another year when the weather is a little more tolerable.
