Seeing kids going around at night gathering treats was very much fun to me as a first-timer; however, I was horrified when I heard that some ill-hearted people put some sharp objects into those non-candies treats such as apple, marsh mellow, etc on purpose. From then on, I'd caution every parent to double check on the received treats before letting their kids consume them.

I buy at least 30 kinds of candy with displays. But I am so disappionted this year with the candy. Give me ideals on what would be cool.

My mum baked me a cake that looked like a pumpkin every year until I was about 14 and then I had to say 'Sorry mum but can I not have an orange cake this year!' I do like it when the kids come around for trick or treat but I think there is sometimes a little to much expectation on their behalf. A lot of the kids by me just want hard cash - hardly the spirit of Halloween! Haha, I am actually a halloween baby!

Last Halloween I spiked the candy dish with rolled up dollar bills - the kids loved it! We don't get tons of kids so for 20 bucks it was affordable fun, and yes, once the word spread - they came back for more! Kids might not like pennies or quarters – but they love dollar bills.

Nobody does that anymore and besides the penny won't buy anything these days. I remember getting pennies for halloween from the doctor in our small town so many many years ago.

We used to eat them right there, BEFORE going home. I'd eat a dozen right there, with milk. The house still exists, but I think the people are gone from it. But in the 80's when I did my candy rounds on Halloween, there was nothing more delicious and non-nutritious than a good old powdered or cinnamon doughnut fresh from the doughnut maker.
