Mr_Blizzard Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Another Halloween is in the books. We live in B.F.E. on a country road, and haven't had a Trick or Treater at my house since Clinton was in office. So I always go to a friend's who lives in a sub-division in Fairport to hang out. Tonight we may have had 30 kids, and there was no activity after 8pm. How did everyone else do?
LeviF Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 I live in an all-student apartment complex. Parents don't dare bring their kids here. "Trick or treat!" "Uhh...here's a joint, kid. Have a blast."
Buftex Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 It's funny, when I moved to Austin, 20 years ago, I was amazed by little people here cared about Halloween. But, over the last 10 years, it has become a huge adult holiday...all weekend long. You just don't see many little kids going door to door here. They go to malls, and business areas. Where all the jobs in Texas are.
Chef Jim Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 None, zippo, nada. Not many kids in the city.
ajzepp Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 I live in a third floor apartment...thankfully the little kids don't come up here usually.
mead107 Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 62, seems we have about the same number every year, give or take about 5. Gave out full size Hershey candy bars.
erynthered Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 None, nil, nada, zero. Though this looked like it could of been a fun time. NOT!! http://www.wwltv.com/news/One-dead-as-many-as-7-others-shot-on-Bourbon-St-132978578.html
BillsFanNC Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Somewhere in the 50-100 range, but it was rainy and cold here last night, otherwise we would have been well over 100.
dib Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Kids dont come to my house anymore ever since that whole pins in the apple thing.
Ramius Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 2 solid hours of trick or treaters at our friends house that we always go to. We went through 2 full coolers filled with candy. The best costumes i saw were a 4 year old dressed as Dog the bounty hunter and someone dressed as dead osama bin laden.

BuffaloBill Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 0 - I was kind of bummed. I can relate - first Halloween in this house so we did not know what to expect. I bought a ton of candy. Now I need to give it away because I don't need to eat it.
Ramius Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Now who ever expected to hear this line on this board?? We also burned through a 3rd cooler full of beer.

The most we have ever had was like 10, and that was when Jim Kelly was still the Bills QB. If anyone ever stops here again, they will hit the mother lode!

PaattMaann Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 over 400 no lie...first year in this house, neighbor said "if you dont have over 300 pieces of candy you will run out in a couple hours" and I thought he was joking...luckily the fiance won a "guess the amount of candy in the jar" at work and what we had pushed us a little over 400, still ran out around 645...its kinda nuts here, seems like parents bus their kids to our neighborhood...
KD in CA Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 We usually go to my sister's place; they usually get 75-100 trick or treaters. The couple years we stayed home we got zero.
LabattBlue Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Maybe around 25 total kids. Live in a big sub-division, but never have a lot of kids. Seems to go down every year.
Just Jack Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 I can relate - first Halloween in this house so we did not know what to expect. I bought a ton of candy. Now I need to give it away because I don't need to eat it. Mail it to... Just Jack Syracuse, NY 13220 Thanks!
