More candy for me!
I guess I've managed to scare off all the kinds in the neighborhood. We had no trick or treaters last night so the candy is all mine! Our house is out near the end of the development so it's not that surprising, but I was outside raking leaves up until 7 and I still only heard 1 or 2 kids. Is Halloween slowly fading away or are parents so paranoid they won't let their kids out?

Actually, it's not any scarier than it was years ago. It's just that the news spreads faster thanks to the interweb and cable tv. So people think scary things happen more often when in reality they are occuring less. But they make more headlines today.

i dont think so jeff. with access to the interweb i think people have been gettnig a lot crazier ideas and actually have access on ways to persue them. the chances are so slim of something like that happening, but then again i wouldnt want my kids out for other reasons anyways. such as speeders, other kids, etc...

Probably had the same amount come by my house. I did notice that there were far fewer teenagers this year, and a lot more >5 come to our door. Must be more younger families moved nearby in the last year.
Growing up, I recall being out near 9pm going house to house. The last few years, people stopped coming by around 7:30pm, even when it is on weekends. I think more parents are going to the malls or other indoor places for their rounds, instead of the houses in the neighborhood. Paranoia indeed.

it was our first halloween in the new house so we had no idea what to expect. I bought 2 30 packs of the full size assorted candy kit kat, snickers, reeses etc and 2 bags of nerds / sweet tarts.
Total kids that came to the house 15.  YUMMY YUMMY i'm eating that candy as I type.

I agree. It's not that there's way more violence, it's that the news and media focus on it too much, which in turn influences our perception of reality.
