we have about 30 kids. its fun to see them with there costume. too bad its very cold last night.
-
We had over a hundred kids based on a combination of kids counted and treats distributed. Costumes were wide and varied as well as the ages of the trick or treaters. Personaly I thought the youngest ones were especially cute. One little girl who must a been about two or three came up hugging her little jack o lantern basket just as tight as she could and you could tell she was scared by us overgrown kids until the candy hit the bottom than she was all smiles and as moma was taking her back down she turned around and ran back for some more treats.

I was horribly disappointed this year with only 2 kids coming to my house trick or treating. :(
I just moved to this new town where everyone is generally rich and retired. I noticed that none of my neighbors even bothered to decorate. However, since Halloween is my favorite holiday, I went all out and for only 2 kids. :bs:
-
Our neighborhood has no sidewalks directly in front of our house and is pretty dark even with the street lights on. We quit giving out candy about 3 years ago. Haven't seen children trick or treating in several years here. They go to the big subdivisions that are easily accessible. :angel11:
-
way to many. that damn door bell rang 50 or 60 times lol but its nice
-
I keep my drapes pulled and have never had a trick or treater. I don't even buy candy just in case. It is really not safe to accept food from strangers today. X-rays can find metal, but not spoiled food or poison.
-
We had no kids to to our door because we have a community get together.
-
About 3 rang my doorbell, but then again I don't do halloween. I think its dangerous taking your child from house to house saying trick or treat and getting a treat that may not be safe.
-
None, I didn't hand out candy this year.
-
none. No candy this year.

Times have certainly changed since I was little based on many of the responses so far in this topic.
I live in a small town and it is still a fun safe family friendly activity to dress up and go door to door for treats. Most of the kids do stick close to their own neighborhoods and travel to specific homes (their grandparents or teacher's homes).
Our businesses downtown get into the spirit of Halloween treat giving by having 4-5:30pm designated for the kids to come. This does cut down on the number of kids who stop by door to door in the residential areas.
-
none and it is great.
-
None. Our street is a off street so usually we never get any unless it's someone we know.
-
I was pleasantly surprised by my little grand daughter, she was dressed as a princess with your green light up jelly shoes to match her dress. I was so happy to see her & her mom;-) She was the only one to come.
-
We had one. Which is odd because we usually don't get any. We live on a busy street so most of the kids are more up the street where there's no traffic.
-
We had about 40 kids! We live in a quiet part of town with no street lights. When it got dark everyone went home!
-
We had one kid, and that was one more than we had last year! idont know why we dont get them.

I live in a small rural gold rush town in the mountains and do not get any children knocking at my door. The FedEx and UPS guy has a hard time finding my house when I'm getting a delivery. However, I don't celebrate Halloween and will not pass out candy even if I could. All my lights get turned off and nobody ventures up my long driveway to come to my door. Just as well. There are a couple victorian houses around my neighborhood that actually could pass as "haunted' houses, but they are closed to trick or treaters also.
Thing is....with all the stuff that can be put into candy and stuff, it's a wonder any parents let their kids out for trick or treat anymore. So many kids are poisoned or hurt during Halloween. Halloween is a pagan holiday that has it's roots in the black arts. There are people that literally take it upon themselves to do harm to children or any humanity when the opportunity arises.

I would say 25-30. Most just wanted the candy and didn't bother with costumes. It's rather sad when most said they were too old to dress up
-
We live in area of mostly older adults so we only had about 13 kids, which was up by about 5 from last year. It would be nice to have more! ;D
-
In my area it gets smaller and smaller every year =( Kinda sad halloween is not the same as when I was a kid which was only a few years ago. I worked as a pizza driver worst day to work sooo busy but everybody mad its late barely got any tips!!! But I saw like no kids !!!! My mom handed out candy and said less then 10 came !!!! CRAZY !!!!!
-
None. I even forgot it was Halloween.
-
We don't normally participate (we've skipped a couple years), but this time we did get a couple bags worth of candy just in case and kept the light on for a couple hours. Our turnout was merely about a half dozen kids and another half dozen late teens or adults. As we have been cutting back on our candy intake I brought any leftover candy to work, which was gone in less than an hour.
-
We had a steady flow for about two hours. The weather ended up being nice and I noticed many more neighbors passed out candy on our street compared to years past, which I think helped with the numbers being pretty strong. We went through seven bags of candy in total.
-
I live on a dead end street in the country so I did not get any trick or treaters at all... I wish atleast a few kids would come down here lol
-
We had 3. Last year we had one, so the word is getting out!
-
I stop giving out candy years ago, because the kids stop coming to my house. I do take my son and niece out for trick or treat across town.
-
Only one! I was so sad! This is my favorite holiday and I was so disappointed.
-
Not many...like 10. We didn't get much candy so we were closing business pretty quick.
-
At my house there were 20 or so kids, and then a big group of youngish college students. At friend of mines house there were about a thousand. His neighbor has a sweet set up for Halloween and it attracts a LOT of people from all over the place. It's getting kind of local famous.
-
no kids came to my house for trick or treating
-
my parents didnt pass out candy this year. they havent done that for a couple of years now.
