So who's opening their doors tonight to all the little ankle biters in scary masks and outfits?
Have you got tricks for them?
Or have you got treats for them?

My next door neighbour has gone really overboard with loads of Halloween props, flashing lights, and even smoke and scary music.
I am pretending that I'm not in  |

I never usually get any trick or treaters so didnt buy any sweets.
Typical, just had 5 little ones around.
Good job I had my money jar here. They can buy their own sweeties. X |

I've got sweets if any monsters show up but with my big gate with various warning signs and no pumpkins or Hallowe'en-y stuff, I suspect they may not.
Then I'll struggle not to eat the flipping sweets. |

Probably swimming against the tide here, so apologies in advance, but celebrating Halloween in the way that seems to be the norm now?
It's just Americanised consumerist pap. Makes me cringe seeing adults behaving like kids, mindless consumerism.
The supermarkets do well out of it, I guess...
There's a much more important and 'real' anniversary coming up: November 5th - I'll definitely celebrate Guy Fawkes and his ill-fated attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament
Oh, and don't get me on about Christmas ... Bah, humbug ...

This is what we usually do, partly because I won't let my son trick or treat so it's his job looking scary answering the door. This year were out so just left a basket full of treats outside |

Not had a single trick or treater in the 3 years I've lived here. Our flat is in a cul de sac and non of our immediate neighbours have kids so we get spared. Hopefully it will stay the same this year, if it doesn't they'll be ignored |

"Treats here!
Although the last group nearly had an extra treat by way of my towel slipping as I opened the door    "
That would have been a lingering memory for them! |

Am genuinely off out...a bonus for Halloween falling on a Friday :D
And especially after the two 16/17 year old lads that thought they were going to get sweets by knocking doors last year....muppets |

I haven't had this they have taken 2 little sweets. I'm also loving the effort some kids have taken with their costumes at the end of the days they are kids. |

This thread has made me sad, I can't open my door because I've been taken into hospital and I can't take my little ones out for the same reason, they are having a party and hopefully having the greatest time, but missing me a little :-  |

This!
I actually had to tell some to take more than one!
You get a better class of trick or treater round here as when I lived in London they'd take fistfuls - or ask if you had any cash instead!

Think next time theres a thread about a fucked up generation just think about how people are so quick to take from the children of that what once was a that generation.
Really disheartened me when I took my babies how many do and don't. Get in the spirit for one night, make those children happy, for sake of a couple of pound. Irates me of the selfishness. I make sure I have a bowl full ready and couple bags as spares. KIDS SHOULD BE KIDS!!! |

It's just a commercial, American 'festival'. Nothing to do with kids being kids - we all want that - it's about profit: invent another 'celebration' en-route to Christmas and count the cash. |

Wow some people really don't get in the Halloween spirit. We only knock where there is a pumpkin outside or some other evidence that they are celebrating Halloween. I know many of the trick or treaters that knocked on my door - they all dressed up, were all polite, like others said - I had to tell them they could take more than one sweet. No one demanded money. We had compliments on our pumpkin carving - some great tricks played on our visits to friends houses. All in all, a lovely night. |

What - you reported yourself? :D
Just because others choose to have a different view of something, without impacting on your freedoms, does not give you licence to slag them off.
We've done our parenting, my kids never did trick or treating, we found other ways to enjoy life with them as children.
The whole trick or treat thing is a tacky American import, so I choose not to participate and object to having my peace disturbed by those who do.
Not everyone is considerate and will indiscriminately knock on doors, threatening to egg your house or worse, unless you cough up. |

No, my house is locked up tight but then the obnoxious little oiks that live around by me know better than to knock my door for anything other than their football if they kick it into my garden, even then they don't bother and just trespass and cause damage.  |

We get loads of kids round here. All very polite and dressed up. I like it because it's a chance to speak to people you don't normally see every day. The parents are always really nice too. It's a nice friendly little place. |

Walking home from work today I was really impressed at the effort some children made to dress up and paint their faces . Good luck to them . Brightened up my evening . It is only one day of the year so why complain?. |

"Not being miserable
Just hate Halloween and people banging on your door every two bloody minutes
It's fun for children "
Some children are not nice, I appreciate some are, and live in places where the kids are brought up well, but some are badly behaved, anti social and little fuckers, so not just people being miserable, some kids make you miserable with their anti social behaviour. |

Well I stopped at 8.30 as I just thought kids would be back indoors...I haven't had any issues tonight they have been all polite etc...however I can understand comments regarding kids being anti social etc. I live in a quiet street where not much happens, however I know some areas where I can understand people not opening their doors. It's all down to choice and pepos may not want to partake in it... |
