How many "Trick or Treaters" did you get this Halloween?...

I'll let you know when I come-up with a new signature, .

Just depends where you live. I am up on a hill so we only got 4 groups. We've seen as many as 10-12 groups but thats when Halloween falls on a Fri-Sun (the last three years). Some neighborhoods on the valley floor were packed.

But to your point, it's certainly not as widespread as when I was a kid. MOST neighborhoods had a lot of trick or treaters. Now it's just a select few. Most family's seem to prefer town sanctioned t-or-t "events". Safe and sanitized. A sad bi-product of people being glued to social media / news all day and thinking everybody is out to poison their child.

Not a one. It also didn't help that half of the street had all of their lights turned off. I asked some people in the past few years why very few kids go trick-or-treating these days and the answers I was given was that it's safer to have parties instead. I've been to Halloween parties as a kid, and I can say without a doubt that they were not as fun as going out trick-or-treating. They were pretty boring.

I drove over to my uncle's neighbrhood and it was jam packed. Very very annoyingly so. They wouldn't get out of the road. Did see a little round orange pumpkin baby with fuzzy hair... That cracked me up.

0. It's sad. I live in the same neighborhood in which I grew up and when I was a kid there were tons of trick or treaters. Times have changed. Going trick or treating means that kids would actually have to turn off the videogames and put down the Ipads. Can't have that.

Don't call it a comeback. I've been here for years.

I was hoping someone would ask this. You didn't get any?

I help friends "haunt" their yard and we scare trick or treaters...been doing this for years. We got 77 total give or take a few. It's not that many. The weather here wasn't bad either. I guess being on a Monday didn't help.

I had about 70 or so before 7:30 PM. I even went out and got more candy.

Only maybe 25 or so after that. Monday - even with nice weather - must make for early going home.

About 20, I was told.
