None at our place since we're in a condo (though I do know that there are a handful of kids in our condo, including our daughter). We didn't go out since our daughter is only 22 months, but next year we'll hit the streets likely and trick or treat. I'm carving a pumpkin next year too, dammit, I haven't had done that in about 10 years.
More than the past few years. Was handing out full-sized chocolate bars. Love seeing the excitement on kids faces when they realize it's a "big bar". Might try handing out cans of pop next year. Those were always a hit.
Rejected two 12 year old-ish girls with no costume on.
Left my pumpkins out on purpose to see if they would get smashed, but they made it through the night unscathed. Guess kids don't like terrorizing neighborhoods like we used to do...
Kids started arriving at 5:30 and I was out of candy by 7. Looking outside, there were still kids out until 9-9:30. Same house last year had basically no one, this year, hundreds. Up in Taradale.

last year about 85 kids this year we ran out of candy at about 8:00 140 kids.
Halloween is a favorite for us, we like to dress up and scare the 10-14 year old kids.
Many of the older ones run away and don't even leave with candy. It's a good system lol.
Little kids we don't scare just hand out candy wave, pose for photos.

Helping out my sister in Rainbow Falls Chestermere. Her haunted house, with full size chocolate bars had just under 200 kids. She thinks it was 198 but I ate a bar and didn't say anything, so 197 unless some other people dug in to her stash.

Was it the house on the corner of Westchester drive/blvd?
Best costume goes to my neighbor's kid's friend. He had an inflated Stay Puft costume. He tripped and fell a la that Raptor's inflatable mascot gif while running from my house to the neighbor's. My neighbor's kid then collapsed on the floor laughing. It was awesome.
Really quiet last night in our neighborhood in Burnaby. Wife and I took the kids around so we didn't hand out candy (supply our neighbor with extra) but there were not a lot of kids out. Some places said they didn't even see there first kid until after 7. I grew up in Marlborough and it always felt like there were 100's of kids out there.
We go to one house every year to see this one fellow dressed up as a gnome or troll like thing, a very good costume. He sits out front of his house completely motionless for 10, 20 minutes at a time waiting for someone to approach and ask if this thing is real or not. I've seen him scare the beejeesus out of people. Pretty sure a women he got this year pee'd herself. She literally punched her husband/boyfriend in the mouth because he was laughing so hard.
What do you guys do with your Halloween candy? Do you let the kids gorge themselves stupid and get it overwith? We let him have a few pieces for desert after supper until it is gone or he loses interest.
