None of the above, I do it because I love the costumes and the parents get a huge kick out of it. I get them in little groups and the tiny ones are hysterical because they really " act out " their costumes.
Halloween has always been my favorite holiday..Christmas is too commerical. I'm a huge horror movie buff, I love the fall, and it's just "my thing". I don't have one of those ridiculously decorated yards...on Halloween night, I have a fall wreath, about 3 lighted pumpkins, and I make paper lanterns with candles up my drive.
I have this huge photo binder, labeled by year, for all of the kids that have come by my house. I also make hot chocolate, and chocolate desserts, and 3 different flavors of popcorn, and when the parents come by, if it's a small group, I invite everyone in to ease the chill. It's a great way to meet the neighbors, as our community is large.
I don't invite children in that don't have parents with them.
The only people that think it's creepy, is those with sick minds. I have never had one parent to object, and it gives my friends that have children a huge selection of costume ideas. In fact, my house in my neighborhood has always been a favorite stop of the parents and the children for these reasons. I also have the photo albums out for the parents that stop by to look through, they love the idea.
