I'm flattered to be considered a teen, but I came in a Mikael Backlund jersey and your treatment was shabby at best!
For shame sir! For shame!

we had 34
my favourite kid was this tiny little girl, maybe 3 years old, dressed up like a chicken - she was soooo cute!

Had way fewer kids, my cul-de-sac was missing a key draw this year. Watched Night Teeth and had a good Halloween.

Well - a strong 3rd period showing from the neighborhood kids salvaged me from developing Type 2 diabetes this weekend. 90 kids in total, with about half of that from 8-9. Costumes were on the weak side, with most store bought - if they bothered with one at all. Cold-ish weather might have played a part of that.

In this older inner city neighborhood it's the opposite of your neighborhood. I'd say the last 25 kids were new Canadian families coming to the neighborhood to trick or treat. They had support vehicles they got into after sweeping the block. Costumes were questionable....but whatever - good for them to get into the tradition.

Imma little disappointed. Was told to expect 100-200 kids in the neighborhood.
I think a lot of kids skipped our street as there is only houses on one side. Of the kids that did come down the street, so many kids skipped our house, including our neighbors on both sides. Not sure if I did something wrong. Had the porch lights on, but no decorations.
Bought 380 small sized bars and gave them out in handfuls of 4-6 per kid. Have like 100 left.

Once again I got none this year. I swear the kids hate our street as they avoid it like the plague. My buddy down the street and around the corner got 50+ kids.

Jeez you guys, I live in Hicktown BC and got 60+. You all need to start handing out better candy or something. You actually live in a big city.

81 in Killarney.
I had what I think was a street person around 9 pm. He said he was collecting for his grandson  )) I never wanted to rock the boat so gave him candy...although his pillow case was already full.

Yeah makes sense, I never liked scotch mints as a kid either.

Also in Tuscany. 23 kids this year, which was up considerably from last year. Way down from the glory years when we first moved to the neighborhood. Not a lot of small kids left on our street though.

New record for us in Sunnyside, 150 kids. I thought we’d get less than last year with it being colder but the kids came out strong!

I didn't count but definitely had over 100. Was giving chips to the kids and one of the kids screamed back to his parents in excitement that he got doritos. Meanwhile, I thought I was being sinister by holding back the ketchup ones for myself.
Win/win I suppose.

I didn't count, but based on candy left I reckon 75-100.
What I really noticed this year was how polite kids seemed.
Roughly 80% thanked me for the candy.
That was nice
