Damn what a guy, you must've been secretly annoyed lol

Did he take the whole box?

whenever one of the local teams was in the series, one house would be "legally displaying" nightmare before christmas projected onto their garage and across the street would be the game on another garage. we'd take turns handing out candy and hanging out in the middle of the road watching the movie/ballgame.

I don't know. Lately it seems he's only coming for the good ones sadly.

Come stay at my house for an evening. Last year we got over 250. It's pretty insane.

Our house never gets visitors, but our driveway is at like a 45° angle and it's hard to see the porch from the street.

It's nice because our house basically can't flood, but I feel really bad for the delivery people.

can count the number of goblins i've seen here over the last 25+ years on one hand, but i'm still prepared nonetheless. theater boxes this year, they were on sale a couple months ago.

If you live in a place that’s hard to walk also look for local trunk or treats.

I live in rural Ohio, houses are far apart and a major highway runs through it.

Bummed last year because we didn’t get any trick or treaters. Our local library is doing a trunk or treat though so excited for that

i mean, options are a thing people can have.

i don't really like the chocolate, so i'll eat all your haribo/gummies if you eat all my chocolate

I avoid gummies entirely because they're usually not individually labeled. If the recipient eats halal/kosher/vegetarian, then they'll throw out ambiguous candy.

No? Your religious restrictions aren't my problem. This one isn't allowed to eat pig so we stop giving out candy with gelatine, next one isn't allowed to take candy from a women so we have the men hold the plate, next one isn't allowed to see a women who isn't family so we banish our women to the kitchen. Just because the one does look more reasonable to you then the others doesn't mean the one isn't already ridiculous.

When I was a kid in the 60s, there an old lady who handed out giant homemade popcorn balls at Halloween. The next day at school, everyone would be talking about it.

My parents were always twitchy about Halloween anyway, so they wouldn't let my brother and I got to her house because it was homemade, and it might be poisonous. I tried to explain that if that were true, every kid in every class I'd had in elementary school would be dead by now, because they all got popcorn balls every year.

I'll bet they were good. I wouldn't know.

Every neighbourhood that had people with “fuck you” money had the occasional house like that.

In mine, one of the first mansions that had been built when the couple was young was still handing out full-sized 300g Lindt bars when I was young and the husband had already died of old age. The wife is now long dead as well, the kids sold the property to a developer soon after, but even 40 years later the long-term residents still remember.

Unless this was originally posted last year and the 31 years was correct

Worse than that. I'm 54, but I swear "around 30 years ago" was somewhere around the early 80's when I was growing up. Math may argue, but my heart says it's true no matter how much my knees deny.
