He started making moaning sounds. After an uncomfortable 20 seconds or so I asked if he wanted some candy. No response. I reached out to move his wig so I could see his face and he took off. Crazy kid. Gave his two friends the rest of my bowl.
Lots of great little kid costumes, many parents dressed up. Great night on our street.

Also we had a ~12 yr old kid and a parent come to the door each holding a bag. I looked to the sidewalk to see if there was a young kid the mom was collecting for who had passed out, but no, she was collecting on her own.

It actually ticks me off when people don't follow Halloweening convention. Trick or treating shouldn't start too early or go to late, and it's for kids and early teens. Dress up, say trick or treat and thank you, and be on your merry way. It's not that hard.
People are giving you free candy/chips. Don't make it awkward for them.
