I remember one neighbour was out of candy, but instead of turning the lights out and pretending to not be home (as is now the norm), he said "wait a sec", ran downstairs, and came back with two quart-sized cans of V8 juice.
I mean, I am no fan of V8 or anything - and sure as hell wasn't when I was 7 years old - but I had to hand it to him for effort (even at 7) and I never forgot it.
