Happy Halloween!

We got done 2 hours ago. Had the house decked out, sound effects again, strobes, fog, luminaries, webs, headstones. It was very well received.

I'm exhausted...

Re: Happy Halloween!

I'm coming to your house. We didn't have one darn kid! But then, I live in an apartment and the building door is locked, but you'd think at least the kids in the building would go door-to-door.

I miss Halloween. It is my favorite holiday.

Re: Happy Halloween!

I live in an apartment too and I never get trick-or-treaters. I don't think people do that in apartment complexes. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, but it's really been sucking lately.

Re: Happy Halloween!

We took Jason to our old neighborhood in Indiana to go trick or treating. All the buildings around here are secure apartment complexes or condos, so that wouldn't have worked.

He got a bucket of candy, of which about 60% was good chocolate.

Re: Happy Halloween!

We estimate we had about 1500 kids by the end of the night.

Re: Happy Halloween!

Cedar Street, the one we live on, has become well known as the place for trick-or-treating over the years, since long before we ever lived here. We don't just get kids from Cedar Street, or even from just Belfast. We get kids from Belfast, Searsport, Brooks, Liberty, Lincolnville, Belmont and Searsmont. It's a circus. Cars can barely drive on the street, cops direct traffic, groups set up hot dog stands to raise money for charities in the parking lot of the grocery store at the end of the street where people park their cars. It's a huge event on Cedar Street. We dumped over $100 in candy just preparing for it.

We got, like, maybe 50 or 60 at best. And I was admittedly stingy with candy so I'd have a bunch of Kit Kats left over. Because what my ass needs is MORE Kit Kats.

It was fun, though. It gave me an excuse to finally use my poor ignored fog machine.

Our friend refuses to give candy to anyone who isn't in costume, doesn't say, "Trick or Treat", or is just too damned old to be out. Needless to say, she has a lot of candy left over at the end of the night.

I didn't see a lot of that last night. I had a few that wouldn't say "trick or treat" but that was mostly the exceptionally wee ones that were afraid of everything. As for being too old, I don't care. I honestly think there should be some kind of "trick or treat" thing for adults. It's fun to get to be someone else one day out of the year no matter how old you are.

Fortunately no one came out of costume either. It saved me the trouble of lecturing them on how shitty they were and making them dance for candy. And I had "Walk It Out" all cued up and ready to go, too.

Me too! I really love the holiday, I can be someone else for a change. lol

I was seriously jones-ing for some sweet-tarts last night and was tempted to knock on a few doors.

Yeah, Jason had trouble with saying "Trick or treat", but he got, "Twick tweat" out. I don't mind older people trick or treating either, but I have a vendetta against the ones who will push kids out of the way to get to the door first (oh yes, I've seen this). I think that's who my friend aims for as well. As for being out of costume....well, I think everyone dislikes that. If you're going to be getting free candy, make an effort.

The best costume I saw last night was a kid dressed up as a television. It was homemade, but you could see that a lot of work went into it.

Break me off a piece of that Fancy Feast!

I think we had about 50-60 kids also...they stopped coming up to the door a little after 8:00 PM.
