Do you still have Trick or Treaters where you live?

[fuzzybuddy]

I remember being 5, wearing a mask you really couldn't see out of, and holding out my orange plastic pumpkin, so people could fill it with candy. I just couldn't believe it, people just gave me candy. Then came the razor blades, etc. Since i moved into this development 30 years ago, nobody has come "T&T" ing. Some places have designated safe T&T homes. Do you still have Trick or Treaters where you live?

The only time we didn't get anyone was during the corona bug plague, Oct 2020. Otherwise we still get some, not as much as years ago but around 30-50 kids.
That reminds me, I need to move Mrs. Hazy's potted cactus plant off the front porch..

I live in a high rise. We can sign up to have Trick or Treaters come to our doors. Building management then produces a list of apartments that are participating, and the list is available to anyone who wants it. It is limited to only those kids who live in the building, they must be accompanied by an adult. There are designated hours...4pm to 6pm. It keeps things simple and safe for everyone. This year is the first year post lockdown.

Oh yes the road is like something out of a Movie on Halloween night.. In the dark there's crowds of adults and kids, walking along knocking on most doors.. They start just as it gets dark.. and stop around 9pm...

Our condo is on the last block of a residential neighbourhood with lots of houses. Door-to-door trick-or-
treating is not allowed within the building. The kids who live in the condo can get donated treats at the security desk, and I'm sure that many go house-to-house.

More kids are moving and being born into my bldg., thank goodness, I love kids, but so far, maybe because of the pandemic, nothing.

IT'S MY CANDY, MINE! ALL FOR ME!

This town is like a step back into the 1950s, so yes.

But I live in an apartment building, and they don't come here.

Yep, even have a region map showing which homes are participating in the candy handouts for trick or treat...

there should be something like that here, so the elderly and people who live alone and don't want to participate for whatever reason.. can not have their door knocked a dozen or more times a night

 

[charry]

Not so much now …as its pitch black up my lane ….

my friend who lives in a lighted area,
puts bags of sweets sellotaped to her door ,
with a big sign in the middle saying “ take a bag , and then SOD off “….

I'm so far out in the woods I haven't seen one in 20 years.

It is discouraged, rather...having a community holloween party for kids along with their parents or other adult at the country club.

They should have a sign up "No Halloween" or somesuch.

perhaps they do, but that would be difficult to read in the Dark...

A glow in the dark sign would be perfect for the occasion!

Usually, a dark house with no outside lights on, is a good indicator there are no treats

Or it's an indication the house is haunted, because ghosts, goblins, witches and vampires don't require electric lights. A dark house should be avoided!

 

[NorthernLight]

Here, a lit pumpkin means trick-or-treaters are welcome.

 

[charry]

so many people going to these pumpkin farms this year over here …very popular ….I didn’t think there was a lot of money about .
and moaning about a price of a loaf of bread

That is our house. Others on our street do decorate and welcome kids. JimB.

 

[hawkdon]

In all my years in this house, only 1 yr did kids come for
trick n treat....(across from cemetery)......

 

[chic]

Oh yes.
