Started an hour ago and already half my stash is gone.

One kid (well, about 12) actually asked me was that all I was giving him.

Hopefully he's on the jacks all night.

My wife has gone out dressed as a (slutty) witch trick or treating with my eldest, I'm on my 2nd packet of haribo on door duty.

Can't wait til it's over now. Place is like a warzone. I genuinely fear one of my dogs will die of stress.

So she didn't bother with a costume then? Bad form :mad::D

Can't hear the door with earphones on.

Everyone is out here. My 3 younger sisters, the teenager, the adult. Mam's boyfriend went out in his cycle gear (legend) and Mam is gone as well. Even if little sisters weren't going out, I'd still have treats for the little ones. It's one night, about 20 quid in Aldi, well worth it to see how happy they all are.

No one yet. First year in this house so not sure what to expect. Starting to hope I'll have to eat all the sweets myself with a movie tonight..

Same. We always have the hall and porch all lit up and some Halloween tunes pumping out. Only a few hours and our kids and the kids on the street really enjoy the night.

Just had a fellow old enough to have kids of his own wearing a Michael Myers mask. When he said trick or treat I laughed in his face and closed the door. Jaysus who would be that desperate for a few monkey nuts and a lollipop?

That's what you get for dressing up as Gary Glitter.

It is an Irish tradition - my grandparents would have knocked on doors asking for help with the Halloween party and it is probably far older than that.

The kids going door to door was not a tradition we had growing up.
Then again it was the 70s and 80s.
Yes there were parties and bobing for apples, eating loads of nuts, searching to get the ring in the barnbrack, etc
If you asked a kid about any of those things now they would look at you as if you had two heads and didn't know what a tablet was.

Not really. It was a night for tricks and pranks certainly but the calling door to door is relatively new.

Very America I think.

Mad isn't it how children weren't mass kidnapped back even in the early/mid 90s on Halloween when we used to go trick or treating?

Ya child.
You should have been around in the 80s or worst still the 70s.
Children were made work in those days, no time for kidnapping.
Horses were the things being kidnapped in those days.

A guy was telling me that in the 80s when himself and his buddies went trick or treating in New Hampshire they'd bring the sweets to the local hospital to be x rayed (for bits of blades etc) before consuming them :eek:

New Hampshire ehhh.
Did our hospitals even have xrays in the 80s ?

I've had 4 lots round since about 5.30. Anyone who calls during the bake off final, good luck!

He was dressed up as Michael Myers a deranged serial killer from the movie Halloween.

Not one caller so far. The joy of living in a gated apartment block. Oh well, it looks like it's just me and these four bags of fun-size bars for the evening.

markc1184

Not a single child to my door yet. Obviously waiting for the football to start on tv.

It is not an Irish tradition and i'm against allowing children out after dark to knock strangers doors. That could be very dangerous and not a good message to be giving to children.

The fúck it isn't, I've been doing it since 1983 "Help the Hallowe'en Party" we called it back then. Oranges, apples and all different kinds of nuts instead of sweets and chocolate. Fireworks from the north and sparklers out the front before going to the fire.

Lost track of number of kids to the door so far, running very low on candy....I'm afraid :eek:

We have had about 100 so far, kids are either getting taller or they are still trick or treating well into their teens.

r93kaey5p2izun

It's like being in the middle of the final battle for Raqqa here. I'd love to experience a Halloween elsewhere just once to see if it's any better. Maybe it's like this everywhere. We've only had one child so far.

KatW4

I've never seen so many kids out for trick or treating as I've seen this year. We ran out of stuff and my mum had made loads. My sister ran up to the shops to get more.

Usually we have loads left and I can binge... not this year

Supercell

Ran out of sweets, lights out, pretending noone is here, the shame, yet the bell keeps ringing...

Some people don't like Christmas. I love it. Some people feel nothing for Halloween, also me. It's called personal choice.

donegal_man

Have had a few around, two of them were my own. So cute them trying not to laugh at daddy not knowing who they were.
