The first few years I took mine only to a couple of neighbors that we knew and it was halfway light still. Once they figured out that they got candy, it was fun!
My sister is over 12 yrs younger than me and I took her from age 3+ every year. I’ll never forget the first time, me her and a friend were all clowns, we took the stroller just in case she didn’t want to walk. I had parked it about 15 feet away while we walked to my friends door and I happened to turn around in time to see a “ghost” try and take the stroller. I ran up swung my bag and clobbered him aside the head yelling that “my sister could have been in there and who does he think he was.” The next day I spotted a neighbor boy with his face just covered in speckled bruises. whoops :)
the last year i went trick or treating was when i was 12 in our apartment complex in north charleston, sc. 2 teenagers on bikes came up behind me & stole my candy bag.
Might have told this one before on this site, but this being the Season and all, here goes: When we were fifteen, one of my friends and I rode the bus to downtown St. Pete and promenaded around at the city’s Halloween parade at Al Lang Field. There were prizes, candy, etc. After getting of the bus near home, we thought we’d cop a couple more treats. We knocked on a lady’s door – she may have been wearing a bathrobe and hair rollers; shucks, it was 62 years ago! She peered at us and said, “Aren’t you two a little old for this sort of thing?”We slunk away, our trick-or-treating days officially over. (Except I’m taking the kids around tomorrow, unless the Wisconsin version of Sandy is still afoot – strong winds today and 44° temp. – felt like 0° wind chill!).
Had a young couple before we moved that really did their whole house up for Halloween. The guy got a full costume for himself, usually a werewolf or something scarey and would lay out like a dummy on the front lawn or in a chair … if little kids came up, he’d remain very still and not scare them … older kids were fair game and he’d have them screaming and running away … used to have people drive from miles away just to see his house all decorated up.
