The Halloween Thread

I'll be drinking as I'm going to be on a plane of Halloween.

For those of you who get trick or treaters, do you hand out the candy or do you let them pick what they want, assuming you have a variety and not just one kind of candy/treat?

I used to give out cheap candy and better candy and one of each. Like Sour Patch or Twizzlers are cheap and fun size bars are more
I won;t be doing it again this year as we have many different trick and treat festivities and few house to house. I wish these would take over the house to house.

Ten trick or treaters so far. It’s 6:30 p.m. I’ll give them another hour then I’m done, lol.

No trick or treaters in our new house. Yay.

 

[KLS52]

I had 15 total. Shut the light at 7:50.

I haven't seen trick or treaters in years. Downtown has an event as well as some churches. Some neighborhoods still encourage it. The TJ Maxx plaza used to do a big event but that died with covid.

We only gotten 30 or less trick or treaters this year. It was very foggy near us. Next year I am getting better candy and vegan ones. We were stuck with Hershey crap because our budget sucked this year. I am planning now what I am doing as its on our taco tuesday night next year.

@shyvas THANK YOU for posting (back on Oct. 24th) about the danger that cobweb decoration poses to birds! I wouldn't have thought of it.

Not only those but the plastic pumpkin baskets people leave out that animals get stuck on their heads, esp if the handles are left on. People need to think.

I have those baskets but I use them for storing my candy for trick or treaters.

I didn't get any trick-or-treaters either. I usually don't unless I schedule some yard work for myself and will be outside when most of them are coming around, but I really think things were dead (yuk yuk) in my neighborhood this year. I was planning to get a book of H.P. Lovecraft stories and read it (by candlelight, ideally) with the radio and most of the house lights turned off on Halloween night, but didn't get around to it. Maybe next year...

It’s that time of year again!

 

[Raven]

I'm going to see a comedian on Halloween. Not very festive!

I love this time of year, though. I'm going on a walk in the local woods next week.

 

[peacefulveglady]

My favorite time of year love haunted stuff and spooky but within reason.

I'll be in Minneapolis with my friends for a Tool concert on Halloween.

 

[Tom L.]

Enjoy the concert, @PTree15 !! I don't think I'm familiar with their music, bur I might have heard it from somebody's Boom Box or on the radio.
