I don't know where the kids in our neighborhood go, but they don't stick around.

It's suppose to rain tomorrow night as well which just means more for me. hehe

It's no urban myth. Pets are much safer kept inside on Halloween.

Yes, because there are more people roaming about during trick or treating, and there is more traffic as parents drive their kids from one neighborhood to another.
I doubt that the danger to pets is from a spike in ritual mutilations.

Mrs. Tweezers and I will probably hand out candy this year. Maybe I’ll wear my Nomex and full-face helmet; I don’t quite look like the Stig but none of these kids will be the wiser...

Yep, it ruins the whole thing when they try to take advantage that way. It should be for little neighborhood children. I remember kids who looked to be in their late teens coming to my mom’s door. She’d tell them, “You’re too old”.

"...Opportunity to pass Good Gospel KJV Tracks..."

Tried that a couple of years - they threw them all over our front lawn......

We’ll be doling out KitKats to about 100 kids, but when the big guys come by with no costumes, and just a pillow case for their loot, the lights go out and we lock up.

Getting tired of this game. Car loads come from other towns and altho the little kids are cute, most just want their stuff.

Am praying for rain. BahHumbug.

I don't believe it because it's likely an urban myth.

I used to think the same, until my vet told us that he and all of the animal rescue services in the area refuse to adopt black cats several weeks before Halloween. They do so because of past experiences. Sad and scary, but true.

The way we found out was from trying to adopt a black kitten with green eyes that my kids fell in love with at PetSmart several years ago. It was just before Halloween. We had to have our vet contact them to "vouch" for us before they would let him go. Would never have thought this kind of crazy actually happens, but, apparently, it does. Sickening.

I'll be in an overwatch position as my children trick or treat. Of course I'll be dressed up too. Last year I was a ghoul dragging chains (I'm 6'3” so I'm often a monster). This year I'm a reckless skateboarder (redundant terms I know) with my stars and stripes long-board skateboard and matching jacket and injuries.

Thursday Night Football and finish the latest Walking Dead novel. I live near one of the most popular trick or treating spots in town (you actually have to go past it to get to my place) so there will be zero children showing up, and with the impossibility of navigating past half of Tucson’s children going places is a bad idea. Although for me the holiday starts tonight with the local art house showing Halloween on the big screen.

We haven’t had treat or treaters in several years.

Turning off porch lights, not answering doorbell if it rings... doing my best to help discourage this now dangerous tradition.
