Glad you asked.  I had no clue either.

You should watch the first 2 terminator movies if you enjoy enjoyment.

And in sad news, we've had a casualty. Was out of town for work much of the week and discovered someone lost a face. Not exactly sure how it happened, but these things are pretty fragile, and you can see how thin and narrow the connecting pieces are. I think I can probably repair it pretty well - likely adding some support to the structure in the process.

I had over 70 trick-or-treaters in under an hour.

No fucking way did all of those kids live in our subdivision.  Gonna start checking IDs.

I mean, yeah, made a kid happy, but your parents are sus.  We always trick or treated in our own hood.

Different world now. I don’t mind it as long as drunk parents or stupid older kids don’t act a fool. Let the kids have fun. But it’s not like we give out some kind of rich people candy. Still same Kit Kats and shit.

They show up by the car load here too.

Not like you can turn little kids away because you know they don’t live around the neighborhood.

This was our busiest night yet in this house. We had to take our kids down the block for a party so we left my mother on a rocking chair on the front porch. She’s notoriously stingy and uses Halloween as a teaching moment about manners and only taking one piece. I get it, but it’s embarrassing. She had 800 pieces of candy to give out and was out by 7:35. I’m done buying the good stuff. They can have bubble gum next year.

These first two houses are always the best ones in the neighborhood.

And this one looks like it's on fire from a block away. I have to imagine that there's a real "Kenny Rogers Broasters Seinfeld Episode" vibe inside.

I do all this, had 30 beers and 12 Trulys in the cooler for parents, 160 full size candy bars...11 kids. None of the regulars. It is a bit depressing when your kids and their friends start to age out. 

 

That’s so badass!!! Never saw anything like that growing up and my dad was in the we ain’t doing shit we are renting here mode. Always loved seeing the houses that went all out for Halloween more than Christmas

Just coming back to this after the WS game. I mean kids are literally on roblox or whatever the fuck nonstop. Is one night a year to give out fun size candy a big deal to those that don't live in your neighborhood?

Slorch. Iceman is the account he created to give himself rep. Because people weren’t being nice enough to him.

False, but don't let the truth get in the way of a good tale.  It was to prove that imaginary internet points had a value, and the fact you still remember the exercise absolutely proves it was true.  Meanwhile, I have no idea who the fuck you are.

and yeah, back on topic; it's bullshit that people come to neighborhoods other than their own to trick or treat.  It's supposed to be about community and seeing people you know in your neighborhoods.  I see now( finally) why so many people don't even bother any more getting candy or setting up shop.  Just go to the local trunk or treat at the church or (abandoned) mall. Why do we ever lock our doors to our homes?  Why do we lock our vehicles?  Because Iceman should be generous, but y'all are keeping your shit.

Hypocrites.

Mom got sick so it fucked our plans up a bit, but a decent amount of traffic overall. We live in the very golf course development suburb part of wake Forest but it’s pretty country pretty quick so we get a lot of kids coming to trick or treat on a street with lights and big decorations and big candy. When we’re out of the little kid phase and I can breathe a bit we’re going to go ham on the decorations.

The boy is not nearly as fearless as the girl but understood the assignment immediately on his first sentient Halloween.
