It’s one thing to oppose Halloween on principle that can be backed up but claiming curses and demonic influence can be delivered via candy has no biblical support.

I don't believe the candy is "cursed but,

Matthew 18:18
18"I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven

I don't "celebrate" Halloween.

Don’t bother trying to reason with these people. It’s hopeless.

Agreed... see verses concerning meat sacrificed to idols. According to scriptures, if I ask God’s blessing on what I eat it doesn’t matter what was done to it before.

It borderlines on superstition to think food can be “cursed”.

Teaching kids to go door to door demanding handouts or risk property damage is good training for future Democrats.

Agreed, The only verse I can think of basically says they have no power. I think an actual demon, might have some power. But if a prayed over idol has no power, how much less would prayed over candy have?

Jer 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. Jer 10:3 For the customs of the people [are] vain: for [one] cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. Jer 10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. Jer 10:5 They [are] upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also [is it] in them to do good.

Besides, I think it would be near impossible for witches to have prayed over most of the candy. Not that it would make a difference if they did.

There is one other verse, I can think of:

Mat 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

I'm pretty sure that covers prayed over halloween candy.
