In my area, it seems like trick or treating is in free fall, possibly due to the poisoned candy myth, with parents likely moving heavily to trunk or treating.

I hate trunk or treat.

Stop making the neighborhood you live in "scary." Go door to door, meet the neighbors, be friendly.

Kids can't walk house to house anymore, we have to put everyone as close together as possible in a parking lot.
