We were quite amused by the the result, we expected one kid to clean us out, but that didn't happen. More than anything, they were paranoid that someone was going to jump out on them, was funny as hell watching them looking over their shoulders.

We get guys doing that here, sitting on there deck as the scarecrow. Pretty funny.

About 50 /50 on the thank you's.

Ahhh. I knew there had to be someone worse. Jeeze..400...We barely closed our door. It must of been a steady lineup at your house.

I don't know. I remember when I was a kid there was a huge trailer park up the street: easy pickings. We'd wear one mask and leave another in our trick-or-treat bag. Make the rounds with one mask and then change to the other and fill our bags in no time.

Yeah, steady stream and plus they started coming at 3:30 in the afternoon. That is crazy, they should wait till at least 5 or 5:30 IMO. I finally shut my lights off at 8:30, but there were still plenty of kids out there.

I avoided it all because I got to work. Although one neighbour says they got at least 250kids.

Well I have to say any Halloween where we have not had to shovel yet is a good one! The weather was great so I expected more than the 3 kids we had. I did however leave candy on my step when we went out.... It was gone when we returned. My 3 kids had a blast!! Not huge amounts of kids out though which I found surprizing. Highlight on the evening was definately when a guy dressed as Freddy scared the crap out of my two youngest!! Roflmao!!! They got pretty close to check it out and b4 I could say anything they were nearly wetting their pants. we don't trick or treat at the mall because it is a massive waste of time not to mention a total gong show.

Im surprised at how many kids DONT say thank-you anymore nowadays, for anything really, but it is quite noticeable when getting trick-or-treaters.

Didnt see anyone not dressed up and no older kids in the area I was giving candy out (in west edmonton). I think there were about 40-50?

+1 I noticed this too. We had about 160-ish kids in cloverdale.
