I got quite a few, but not as many as in years past.
I live across the street from the local corner store, and the proprieter usually gives out little packages of candy to the kids. So, usually we get every kid for 4 blocks trick or treating on my street.
In years previous the whole street had alot of fun with it, with decorations up, jack-o-lanterns a plenty and every house waiting to give out treats. This year though, looking up the street 70% of the houses were darkened or pretending not to be home.
Its too bad really. I was all prepared with almost 40.00 US worth of bulk candy expecting the deluge. I only gave out half of it, maybe 100 children total when in years past we'd get 200 or more.
I had tiki torches flanking my front door, with a jack-o-lantern and a skull candle burning to each side. I thought it was spooky enough.
The kicker was when a couple of six-year olds looked in the house and said "Wow! how'd you make it look so spooky in there!" - I hadnt decorated anything inside the house....lol :unsure: .
I can only assume that they were looking down the corridor into the kitchen where my girlfriend had herbs strung and drying from the ceiling for her herbalism class at university. That ,and I was brewing a batch of Beer on the stove which might have looked like a cauldron or something. Or maybe it was my swords displayed on the wall............hell, now that I think about it.......my house is spooky!
