Happy Halloween!
I have a candy dish in my office at work I always keep stocked up for the guys. This week had been especially stressful crunch for everyone and they chowed through $30 in candies already.... went to pickup some more for today (because obviously I can't be out of candy on HALLOWEEN) and only stuff in town was Christmas themed.....
I'm claiming it as my Halloween trick. :)

We never get any trick-or-treaters out here -- never have, since we moved here. They all go into town. Seems this fun tradition is dying out, somewhat, ever since some wickedness took place a few years ago, and parents are hesitant to let their kids go around. Now, they have to check all of the candy before letting their kids eat any of it. Razor blades in apples. Cyanide in candy sticks. No end to the wickedness that has turned this fun tradition into a potentially dangerous one.
When I was a kid, we drove into Chula Vista and went trick-or-treating, and we never had to worry about anything like that. Also, some of the costumes we wore back then would be banned, today. It was all in great fun, as much for the adults handing out candy as for the kids receiving it. Some folks even gave us pennies or nickels in lieu of candy. Kinder, gentler spirits back then.

Many suburbs canceled Halloween on the kids. It was too dangerous... Cold and slick with ice.

You know, I've never found a single account of an actual razor blade in an apple or actual poison in a popcorn ball. Not a single one. Pretty much all of such occurrences have proven to be hoaxes or pranks played by one kid on another. But then, all my friends and I grew up playing "bang, bang, you're dead" with cap guns, too, and by some miracle not a single one of us became mass shooters. I have read that violent crime and kidnapping are actually down from when I was a kid, statistically, but you sure wouldn't know that from the news and social media. We just live in a very, very paranoid time.
OK, sorry to get all serious and fact-checky on a fun thread; just saying hey, get out there, do something fun; let your kids do the same. Things aren't all as bad as you might think!

That is a very infamous story, which I heard fresh on the news just after it happened.
There was an actual account of a kid having his mouth all cut up because he had bitten into an apple with a razor blade in it.
There were some incidences of pins and needles being discovered in some Halloween "goodies", which turned out not to be so good.
Maybe most of them are hoaxes, but it has happened for real on occasion, and even if it's just a practical joke, it's still harmful.
My point was, when I and my siblings were kids, we didn't have to worry about such stuff. People were kinder, gentler, and the grown-ups enjoyed the fun as much as the kids did.
We trick-or-treated for years, and never had a problem in the 50s and 60s. By the time that poisoning occurred by the dad to his son, we were young adults and didn't go out, anymore.
Matt, you referred to that poor kid's dad as a "person". That's being way too generous...
