It gets worse every year. This was last year at 5:00. The main drag of my hood. By dark the outside the hood beggars were double parked on both sides, and loading up 30 ft trailers behind pickups full of kids to descend on houses in our hood.

I usually keep the porch light off and turn the dining room light on, spread out a towel on the table and start cleaning rifles

Have similar here...we actually discussed doing Halloween on another night for the neighborhood kids with ‘the good candy’. And then on Halloween just leave a dish out for everyone else.

Yeah, you haven't seen these little greedy bastards apparently.

This year I'm not playing that game

Ha...I have to assume that’s a pic from the internet...but I’d support it.

photoshop...his name is on the door but the candy dispenser is too bright and shiny and its sort of floating above the porch
 
I used to buy candy, and 3 or 4 show up, not counting my grand kids. Now I just get them something, take it to them and keep lights off.
I guess I live too far out for much traffic.

I'm impressed that you have kids stop by with houses that far apart. We get bypassed because all the lazy shits go to the tract neighborhoods with the houses 7 feet apart (adjacent to us).

This. We always take the kids to our old neighborhood. Once around the block, and they're done. That's the equivalent of once around the property line at our current house.

We have like 10 houses in our neighborhood. We used to just do a quick run around and end up with a fire and drinking in the driveway. One by one people stopped handing out candy though. This year we're going to a party at a friends house in a high density neighborhood. I'm sure it'll be nuts.
 
The wife and I lock down the house, turn out the lights and go out for a long, relaxing dinner at a restaurant that is not too close to home. We kill a few hours and then head back home after the beggars have moved on.

That is what my first boss at my current place of work used to do every Halloween. Dinner and a movie with his wife. His kids were grown and gone.

Take notes Troy, leave home!

The houses are a bit too far apart in our neighborhood, so we always go to my SIL and BIL's house for a cookout and trick or treating.
 
I actually like Halloween in our neighborhood. We live up an a cul-de-sac that is out of the way, with only 4 houses, which are all old people besides us, so nobody comes to our house ;-).
But, there are a bunch of elementary school age kids around; the neighborhood isn't too fancy or close together so we don't get "outsiders" coming in.
So, a bunch of the kids get together (they all go to school together anyway) in a big gaggle. Meanwhile the dads trail about 50-70 yards behind them with a wagon full of beer, whiskey, and hot chocolate. Kids do their thing and we pretty much just toodle around shooting the shit, go back to one guys garage afterwards and finish the booze while the kids have a nerf gun fight.

Sadly, this year my son is almost 14 and too cool for Haloween (and hasn't yet figured out it's also a nigh tor trouble-making) so I have to take him to his weekly Kinetic Ninja gym time instead of boozing it up w/ my neighbors.
Damn kids!
 
I just refused to go participate in our church trunker treat mess. Every year I get asked and I say no...every year I end up going in plain clothes and passing out candy. This year I kept saying I wasn't interested just like the previous.

This year I'm actually going to go quote work....the angry wife however didn't even let me get that part out.....

Anybody got a room to rent?
 
Didn’t believe in the trailer load.....I live in one of the old wealthy neighborhoods in fayetteville and just went out to get my mail. Saw a trailer load drive by and some snot nosed kid yelled at me “got candy?” It was 15 min prior to trick or treat start time
