They thought it was fun at the time and they didn’t know what they were *missing*.
My kids never had nightmares of night terrors and I wasn’t about to start with that by letting them see the *costumes* most kids in our neighborhood went out trick-or-treating in.
Their opinion now? I really don’t know. They never complained about missing it. They’re all in their 20’s now and scattered across the globe at the moment so there’s not much chance to ask them.

In their 20s now, they feel sorry for kids who have parents like me (in other words, none are understanding-of-their-parents'-actions like the writer of this thread, and hand out candy themselves. :)
