Candy's gone, lights are off, time to watch the original What We Do In The Shadows.

Blades? What blades? I have no knowledge of these blades of which you speak.

Up to 85, mostly tweens and teens now. But they’re pretty much all wearing great costumes and face paint!

Had a handful of kids come so I told them to take a handful to polish it off.

Well this is by far the slowest Halloween ever at our place, don't think we've had even 20 kids. Used to get a couple hundred.

My planning worked out pretty well. I had 70 full size candy bars, set aside 10 for myself and my family and I have 6 left for any late come kids.

We've had a steady stream. I've been giving the a choice of juice box, Kit Kat or Fruit to Go and most chose the juice box surprisingly.

Calgary Police Stations have taken leftover candy in past years. Give to kids that had theirs stolen.

Haven't had any more kids in the last 2 hours. Turning the lights off. Looks like it's going to be 14 for the year.

Only 25 in my area. There's about 10 houses leading up to my cul de sac that have their lights off every year, so kids don't venture here. Most of the neighbors give out full sized bars.

My boy's Lanny McDonald costume was a big hit though.
