We used to live in a historical district and had zero trick-or-treaters. Now we live in a little nicer subdivision. We have more like 500 to 1,000 trick-or-treaters. I don't even know if some of the kids are neighbors because I never see them out - it's a drive-in-your-garage-and-close-the-door sort of place.
We have a blast giving out candy. I've got 10 HUGE bags this year and I don't think it's going to be enough. It's really cold, though, so I'm thinking a lot of the smaller kids won't come out.
I don't mind teen-agers who dress up - they usually wear pretty clever costumes and are polite. It's the ones who don't say a word and just pull out the bottom of their sweatshirt to receive their candy...then show back up in 20 minutes for another hit.
For them, I need the remote-controlled trapdoor in the sidewalk.
