when I was little, one year my daddy put on a gorilla mask and when the kids would ring our doorbell, he would open the door and grab candy out of their bags then slam the door shut.
Many a child would cry on our front porch....
He always would take the mask off, then open the door and give the kid more candy, but dang, he was a meanie..

We will have halloween music playing on our front porch. Hubby wears a pirate costume to hand out candy. The doxies will be wearing their jack-o-lantern and skeleton t-shirts and greet each goblin at the door.
If I get pics, I'll post them. Of the dogs, anyway..

Yes, always have entertained trick or treaters - and I don't much care where they come from.
I figure if they get past the working life-sized guillotine, 12-foot mechanical alligator with articulated jaw, fog machines, hangman's gallows, and the water well with the pneumatic surprise in it...they've earned it.

I used to have a guillotine that I set out on the porch and offered the kids a "free haircut". It was actually a stage illusion from my magic act. The yard was always packed with kids wanting to have their heads "cut off".

we're never home on Halloween night. Until this year, we've always been helping at the carnival/festival @ church. But who knows what we'll do this year.

LOL...this one is 14 feet tall, with a real blade that'll halve a 2x4.

I can't believe they are that strict, and party killers. I would NEVER live in an HOA neighborhood. NEVER.
But I have not had any kids for over 5 yrs. WHen you live out as far as I do, the kids would have to come by on 4 wheelers just to get here.
I don't buy candy or turn on the light, ( you can't see it from the road any way) Just not going to get any kids. OH well.
There is only one house in my HOA and we don't want to buy any candy for a kid who would crawl over the gate and come up here.
Now I get it. And I agree. Just takes older people longer to get the "joke".

What I used to love to do, is when the kids would come to the door and say, TRICK OR TREAT, I would look at them and say, OH I will take a treat thank you, and start to reach into their bag and get some candy. You should see the looks on their faces. TOTAL DISBELIEF, The littler ones would say, NO NO you have to give us some candy, and I would just play off that. But they would all leave with extra candy. But it was fun to "trick" them for a change.

A man in the neighborhood had a huge jar of pennies. Kids could get a handful of coins. My son loved it. I have wondered how much it cost the man.

I use to, but most of the houses on my street did not hand out candy, so I did not get that many kids, so I haven't handed out candy the last couple of years and won't again this year. Plus it's less stressful on my animal kids not to hand it out.
