WooHoo, thanks Rob and Happy Halloween to you as well ! Got my kids off to school in costume, duck and a pirate, bus came so fast I did not get a pic. Grr. When I'm an old frog at 85 I'll miss that and likely complain to rocks and trees about this missing picture, ah well. Tonight we go for candy, soon enough it will end as they turned 10 and 11 this year. So I will enjoy what I got left!

DUDE! I keep trying, both my kids love talking about Horror movies, but 'real' ones they can't make it, we do some kids classics and also things like Gremlins and Critters (look I know...ugh), Tremors, am going to try Fright Night late night. Wife and I watched Hallowwen 1-3 last 3 nights. So good, 3rd is cheesy fun. I like Re-Animator, but not sure I can watch that with my kids, even when older... the head lick scene, while awesomely grotesque, weird and dark comedy, is kinda weird with my kids. But thats what made the 80s so great..kinda weird. Happy Halloween man!
 
this bat keeps freaking me out making me think I have a bug on my screen! 😆

I hope everyones Halloween was happy and joyous. Mine was. From a personal perspective. BUT from a trick or treater perspective. I was completely let down. We only got like a 1/6th of the traffic we've gotten over the years. It made me sad. But then I'm glad I didn't decorate this year, because I'd of been pissed for the lack of turnout and the effort it takes me to decorate the yard for halloween. My daughter loves Halloween, so over the years, I've built and bought more and more. Anywho.
 
Sad to say, we didn't have any kids or anything else. This neighborhood is on 2–3 turnovers. So there should be a new group of kids, I dunno, but it is disapporting, for a favored holiday of mine. I do hope all were safe.
 
My area is very rural and it's not safe to walk up to anyone's house between the dogs and the guns and locked gates. Plus it would take hours just to go to a few houses, we are spread out on acreage.

We have "trunk or treats" at the local schools and churches. They are a blast. You decorate the back of your truck or trunk and put your candy in there and we all park in the lot and the kids go around to all the cars/trucks and get their treats that way. Adults can also dress up kinda to match their theme. One guy this year had a big clown (like 10 foot tall) that would pop up as kids came up. Was cool and everyone hates clowns so there were a lot of screams!

There is some of that, at local schools and even a mall, Potomac Mills. But assumed it was mainly for the first-time/very young ones. But maybe it should be expanded & advertised more. Sadly, that would subtract the moonlight runs from house to house, with a cool breeze blowing clouds around. And noises coming from all over (the spooky/creepy/scary part). Not to mention the characters who try to scare kids in person or in decorations. A lot to miss in a traditional Halloween trick or treat evening. Hell, I'd even burn some leaves (smoke/smell). One year I put dry ice in an opened upstairs window for the dry ice 'smoke' falling down onto the front porch. Add a strobe light in the garage behind the fire/smoke toward the walk made for the desired atmosphere. Also, the liberal use of fishing line in odd places keeps the tension. I did really hate rigging for the sounds/music.
 
What did you guys got dressed as?

Me, the Wife and the 2 kids went out as ninja turtle... except I was Splinter
