Did you have many/any Trick or Treaters? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I had one. Oh how times have changed.

qwerty · 11-01-2011, 02:29 PM

Won't know until Thursday. It was postponed due to the snowstorm. They were afraid kids would find live wires or have other problems since power is not fully restored yet.

JamesG · 11-01-2011, 03:36 PM

I had 6 trick-or-treaters all together though the doorbell rang just twice.

First ring was 2 little kids and the second time was 4 teenagers.

AB · 11-01-2011, 03:57 PM

We only had 2, most of the kids on our road are too old for it.

retrofan05 · 11-01-2011, 07:06 PM

I had 15 to 20. That's the most I've experienced for quite a long time. I recently moved out of my parents house who live in a condominium, so you can imagine how many trick-or-treaters they got. LOL! On a side note, with Halloween being on a Monday this year, it got me thinking. Even though Halloween on the 31st is tradition, they really should just make it the last Saturday in October. That way, kids can freely trick or treat without worrying about school the next day and adults can enjoy Halloween parties without worrying about work the next day.

119 TOT (trick-or-treaters). More than the last 5 years, when I got about 85-90.

At least 6 houses in a neighborhood 2 miles from me has yard haunts and they had about 1,400 visitors!

For the first time, I decided not to give out candy. So I didn't have any lights on. I did buy candy though. The reason, I was just too tired from working 10 hours that day. I ended up going to bed at 7 pm.

I think they should move Halloween to the last Saturday in Oct. Weeknights are hard on some of us.

comedyfreak · 11-02-2011, 08:14 AM

I think I had 20 to 30 at most, I still have a little over half a bowl of candy left.

That is something to consider. Halloween always on a Saturday night would be easier for a lot of people. And I wouldn't mind... better than no Halloween at all!

We had our Halloween last Thursday. I actually had more trick or treaters than I usually get. I was shocked because it was a rainy day and I actually thought it was going to be postponed. I gave out all the candy I had.

For some strange reason, My town has Halloween on the last Thursday of the month. lol

Brad Russ · 11-02-2011, 11:40 PM

i wanted to pass out candy, but was unable to come up with any money, so i just raked leaves instead. It worked out though, cause it was the first time iv'e been able to rake in about a month after my hospital stay and recovery.

Had a few trick or treaters start to walk up, but our middle neighbor moved, our other wasn't home, so i stopped them so as to not waste their time. i'm hoping to pass out candy for the first time next year though. i like seeing little kids in costumes, they're cute!

Crimson and Clover · 11-03-2011, 01:01 AM

Nobody was here all night, so Im not sure if we had any. Last year we only had about 3 though.

icecream · 11-03-2011, 04:58 PM

Zilch. I haven't gotten any trick-or-treaters since I moved into my apartment complex five years ago.

Regulus · 11-03-2011, 05:31 PM

I counted about 20 in my Neighborhood, about the same as last year.
