LOL, no. Those pics were from cyberspace. My wife would literally kill me if i
i had installed something like this. We had pumpkins, scarecrows a talking head and other fall paraphernalia. Fairly child-friendly.

By 8 pm we had 3 kids, one was wearing a Shoppers Drug Mart bag on her head as a costume. We did leave a basket of candy at the door and left for the party after that. Practically none was taken by 1 am when we got back. This was the lowest level of Halloween traffic I 've ever seen...

130 kids this year, Discovery. Several driveway parties with fires. Some great house decorations. I got beer and shots at a few houses.

Is it just me or was this one of the best halloweens in a long time? So many kids out and lots of great decorations. The warm weather probably helped a lot.

Final of 115 in Cranston which was up from last year. We had some other people come to our place to hand out candy like my sister and some friends because their streets have no kids show up at all. They think it is because their side of the street do not have side walks

It falling on a Saturday probably helps too.

I found the opposite in my neighbourhood. I was the only decorated house for a good 10 blocks and I barely saw any kids out (and I have a large child population in the neighbourhood).

It was probably the slowest one I've seen in a good 5 years.

We had 54 down in auburn bay. I am still surprised by the low number for a newer community.

6 in Canyon Meadows, all came in one group. We've been in the 0-10 range for the 5 years we've lived here.

Wow, I grew up in Canyon Meadows and swear it used to be in the 200-300 range.

About 40 kids in Sundance. We've lived here for 4 years now and this is the smallest number we've had so far. Most of them were really little too - only about a dozen kids in the 8-12 year old range.

We had 6 at my parents house in Brentwood. I reckon this neighbourhood doesn't have many kids around since my generation grew up as it was fairly crowded around here when I was a kid. Good to hear all you suburban yop gobblers put up good numbers.

140 in Cedarbrae. The haunted house down the street probably helped. Also, being on a drive helps. My parents in a crescent a few blocks away got about 20.

I was very disappointed not to receive any yop in my kids bags
