Probably will be once some sicko tampers with the sweets then gives them to some unsuspecting child .

The days where one could trust the people in the community around them are gone these days you bang on some ones door you never know if you're going to get a nutter answering it !

Nah, i love scaring the shite out of kids ! Be ready .. most likely , they'll be dressed to scare you , so be ready , don't be scared .. expect a horrible mask.

Turn off the hall light, put your own clown mask on... pick up the meat cleaver open the door slowly ... then rapidly !! Start hollering and swinging the cleaver about...Big kids scream and run away ... give chase !! Little tots with their mums and dads die of fright and cry ! Meanie ain't I ?

Take two paving slabs up on the front path and replace with a drip tray full of old engine oil.

That keeps them amused.

Thirty or so years ago some persons in the States started to give "trick or treaters" LSD tabs as sweets. I only wish ..........

Why do we have to have Halloween and Fireworks nights? I suppose the retailers have to make money.

It's a foul conspiracy to distract people from celebrating Guy Fawkes Night (sorry 'Firework Night' to reduce the amount spent on fireworks and vastly increase the amount spent on everything else.

You can trace its rise directly back to ET.

Would love to set up the 30Kv transformer with a Jacobs ladder, sparks up to 18" across but it could be construed as dangerous and would wipe out the tvs, computers and mobiles for miles around, might get a video projector and start screening real gory movies on the wall next to our house complete with blood curdling screams! all to amuse the little darlings, bring back November 5th and £1-00 pounds worth of penny bangers ( 240 of them ) then you could Really upset the neighbours.

A couple of garden irrigation sprinklers, solenoid control valve set to 10 seconds "ON" time, connect to the doorbell.

Magic.

Especially with a "No Trick or Treat" notice on the door.
They push the doorbell _then_ read notice while they get wet.

Double magic.

Halloween horror story...

I must have brushed against a bush today and when I got home I noticed my right arm was covered with a couple of dozen of horrible-looking bugs!

Razor blades inserted into apples was the big fear in the US when I lived there years ago. Hurts to just think about it. Kids these days would probably just pelt apples back at you if you tried to palm them off with them instead of "candy".

We don't get many. One conversation went like this:

'Trickortreat'

'Pardon?'

'Trickortreat'

'Say again'

'Trickortreat'

'Sorry, I don't know what you're saying. Say it again slowly'

'Trick. or. treat'

'Ah, got it. What's that then?'

'Oh, forget it.'

and they went away...

Was it last night? I thought it was tonight! Never did it as a child. I will have to give the Grand Children the sweets.

I got bitten to bits on my arms by the Blandford fly, took revenge with propane torch on full throttle, seemed to sort the problem out. It took a good few days for the lumps and bumps from the bites to go down. They are vicious little b******s.
