Henry Rifle Forums

We live up a very long steep driveway, and in the past 5 years we haven't had any trick or treaters come up here, so we never buy candy for Halloween. There was this one lady with 4 kids that made the hike. I couldn't beleive my ears when I heard someone knocking on our door.
When I opened the door and saw the little gobblins, and told them I didn't have any candy. They sure we're sad, then I remembered the Reese's butter cups in the freezer. (That's my personal stash). Thankfully I had a bag, and they were all rewarded with a generous ration of them.

When I lived in Virginia, and I was single, I used to get a lot of children on Halloween. I had a tape of Henry Mancini's
"Experiment in Terror", and I would set up speakers in my Portico and play it. It was all the old spooky terror movie
music.
Then I dipped a big asbestos glove in red paint so the fingers looked like the were dripping blood.
When the children knocked I would crack the door and extend the glove with candy. Often times
I would open the door and they would be gone with no candy.

Gotta have a little fun with it.

One year I opened the door and found two local 12 year old girls. One in a suit and two in cocktail dresses.
I asked who they were and they replied, "two whores and and pimp.". I wonder if their parents, (who I knew
and they were both pretty straight laced), knew about them.

Haven't’ had a trick or treater for 16 years since we moved rural. However when we last lived in a development we would have 200+ kids. Lots of fun handing out candy in reflection but it seemed like a pain in the butt back then. We were early risers so early to bedders so I hated those 9:00 pm door bell ringers.

We don't get any kids way out here...

Same here. My kids would be crushed without Halloween so we are doing the same thing.

At minus ten degrees I can understand why.
