My front door and porch, decorated for Halloween.
The weather was beautiful for trick-or-treating. I had plenty of candy, including Reese's, Kit Kats, 100 Grand bars, and Milky Ways. The first kids, very young ones escorted by their parents, came to the house just after 3 PM. I turned off the porch lights after 9 PM, with just a partial bag of Kit Kats remaining. I had a total of exactly 60 Trick-or-Treaters this year. Josh came over to hang out with me for part of the evening, and we finished off my 6-pack of Beck's.
Here is the count of Halloween Trick-or-treaters for the past 13 years:
1992: 132
1998: 77
2001: 53
2003: 33
2004: 57
2005: 69
2006: 64
2007: 53
2008: 26
2009: 43
2010: 42
2011: 55
2012: 42
2013: 64
2014: 63
2015: 60
[Edited: I have found some of the statistics from earlier years and added them to this list.]

Some of my crew came up with this idea to decorate the sidewalk in front of my house. Tony laid in a 'dead' pose on the sidewalk, while Josh traced his outline and put up some "caution" tape to make it look like a crime scene. I said NO to the idea of pouring red paint on the sidewalk next to the chalk outline.

4.
I carved 3 pumpkins this year. The designs got simpler as the afternoon progressed.
5.
Josh tries being a jack-o-lantern.
6.
Close to 9 PM, these 2 creatures came to my door. I am always a little leery of the older kids and adults who go trick-or-treating, but I invited these two in, where they proceeded to freak out Lily, sending her into a panic of fearsome barking. This is Tony and Ed, two of my crew, out to celebrate the holiday. They were disappointed that I recognized them right away. ;-)
I hope you all had a fun time this Halloween.

Date: 2015-11-03 02:46 pm (UTC)...and a Very Happy Halloween to you too! I have only been to one screening of Rocky Horror. That was years ago. It was a hoot! Going in, I had no idea what was going to happen and had no idea why people would bring toast to a movie. LOL
