How large was your trick-or-treater volume this year?

I think Halloween is ruined, no thanks to the arseholes who ruin it for everyone. Like, spiking the candy or putting razor blades and chit. Parents don't trust any of their kids to go to houses they dont know anymore. Which is why they do the trunk or treating at churches and schools.

But, known serial killers, BTK, MK Manor, and others. Always participate in a church or a school setting. So, those trunk or treaters, might want to check their candy.

IMO

Thank you for ruining it for everyone.

;p

My opinion, these churches and schools, think they know everyone there and nothing will happen to their child. Little do they know, they hold the most darkest secrets.

It’s transient neighbors.

Innthe seventies Halloween was so fun! Children dressed as witches and ghosts running across the lawns with pillowcases, as soon as it got dark. Adults sat on their porches or stoops and walked to visit and share hospitality and drinks.

We knew or our parents knew every single person who dropped candy in our bag.

We judged our neighbors by their candy! Chocolate bars were the best and the orange and black wrapped peanut butter or butterscotch taffy was the worst. In between were those tart smart something pastilles, suckers and lollipops, jaw breakers and bubblegum— blow pops and bazooka were the best!

Healthy moms who gave us apples and popcorn balls just made us sigh.

someine always thought to throw us toys or Halloween pencils — let’s just say a quick prayer may God bless their anti-glycemic little hearts and reward their good intentions. And increase their joy cuz they were too damned Puritan back in the day.

So now we do t know our neighbors and the kids get driven spirt to sport instead of playing outside in the neighborhood. You really can’t trist the transient peoooe like you could trust neighbors you’d known for years or had dinner with, drinks with, in some cases sex with!

Whoa. A Thug-Bot... gone rogue

Great thread OP!
I’m surprised no one is mentioning the SJW’s “trick or trinket” campaign...
It’s for children with food allergies

Evidently it’s very popular...people display a teal colored pumpkin(s) so people will know that the House is giving away a small trinket/toy as an option over receiving candy. I’ve never heard of this until yesterday but a quick search revealed I’m just old and out of the loop with such poppycock.

I live in a mountain town in AZ.

They have lots and I mean LOTS of events where kids can

get 'free candy' and NOT GO DOOR TO DOOR!

I think parents are not focused on the 'begging' thing anymore.

They are weary of strangers and issues they can't control.

Great post! Spot on!

It’s not just transient neighbors but also how they simply no longer design homes with an actual front porch anymore! Think about it!

That greatly missed nostalgia sunk in last night as we were watching Charlie Brown/The Great Pumpkin last night...especially when the peanuts were sitrep’ing their candy scores one mentioned receiving an apple and another mentioned a popcorn ball ...and of course Charlie and his rocks was still chuckle worthy. I’m curious if certain towns/cities still have their local hospital X-raying the candy... mmmm, irradiated candy.

I was into it, but, I'm done. Not worth it anymore.

i don't fuck with all hallows eve BUT i heard that it was the lowest people have ever seen! which is great fuck that evil shit

We gave up on it. The first year we lived here we spent 40 bucks on candy at least. Lots of kids in the area. Not one trick or treater. In the decade we have lived here a total of 10 door knocks. We stopped buying candy and leave the porch light off.

The old days are over!

we normally have about 75, but this year we had about 10 because it was freezing with 50 mph winds.

I have seen a decline from around 200 6 or 7 years ago to an average of about 75 now.

we had hoards of trick or treaters

so many "dreamers"

Zero..maybe because of the German shepherd..hehe

Well, us old timers did it. Stupid entitled idiots.

When we lived outside of Austin, most of the churches and YMCAs had some kind of Halloween party or community event. Albuquerque was the same way.

Our neighborhood in Gilbert, AZ had a huge block party.

I live outside of Fort Worth now and some neighborhoods trick or treat and some don't. Around here, the older people were giving out candy and some of the preschoolers went out in costume with their parents.

Ditto

I usually get less, because no houses are across the street, and the lil kids are lazy.

Zero kids. I was amazed. I noticed some local kid parties. So, that explains it.

Inside the neighborhood, lots of non-locals kids, I heard.

.

if I had kids i sure as fuck wouldn't have them going around to strangers' residences accepting things to eat they were gonna put in their system

I live in Lakeside/Pinetop AZ. I have lived up here for the last 8 years and have never seen one trick-or-treater in my neighborhood. Not one ever! I don't have to buy candy because they don't come to where I live.

The weather was horrible.
40° and raining sideways.
Hardly anyone was out last night.
They should've postponed trick or treating until tonight.

We don’t do it in my area cuz houses are too far apart, minimum 2 acres.


But we went trick or treating in the next town. This year was so beautiful, people were dressed up and waiting for children to come... my baby didn’t want to collect more candy cuz he was tired and his bag was heavy like 15 lbs. He’s a ninja and I was a pirate... lol...

I had maybe 25 but this is the first year I gave out candy in this house. The adults keep becoming more and more obnoxious, but I wanted to kids to at least have a few minutes of happyness, they don't deserve this crap society.

That's why I sold everything. The adults were the worst. They were taking more candy than the kids.

It's a do over...the kids are everywhere. :)

Oh, my... it was beautiful in this town... people were everywhere... my son got tired after an hour and I wanted to keep on going... lmao

The Talmud yews are trying to kill Halloween because it is a holiday on the New Jerusalem Calendar.

We had a lot of Halloween interest here at Niagara Falls.

Personally Halloween needs to end and be replaced with a harvest ceremony or something of that sort that has a spiritual connotation. I live in a senior part so I don't have to concern myself with trick or treat,, but I would not participate anyway.. gave that up years ago.

I don't object to treets and NICE costumes.. but this can be done locally as part of a harvest celebration.
