Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

We closed up at about 8:30pm here after no further ToTers showed up for more than an hour.
The first ToTs arrived at about 6pm and the last at 7:20pm.
~ 6:00pm - 2 ToTs
~ 6:20pm - 8 ToTs
~ 6:30pm - 3 ToTs
~ 7:10pm - 5 ToTs
~ 7:20pm - 2 ToTs
Total of 20 ToTs in five groups, all were young children except for one group of 3 teenagers.

The weather had been stormy, windy, and rainy for nearly a solid week, but Halloween morning dawned clear and stayed dry the entire day and through ToT time. A few minutes after we closed up, the rain started again.

We got between 80 to 100 trick or treaters which is about what I was expecting. They started around 6 pm and our last one was at 8:30. Ended up having a little bit of candy left over.

It was warm today, close to 80 when tot'ing started. Not a cloud in the sky.

I got a little more than 75. Less than last year, but not too bad. No trouble with the older ones. I did get some with no costume though.

A lot of them screamed and ran down the walkway after I greeted them a the door. LOL. Two girls got scared away and refused to return to get their candy... even after turning off the chainsaw sound and taking off the mask.


Very good night indeed. Hope all of you had fun!

oh wow. poor girls. i hope it wasn't too extreme.

I got roughly 75 tot'ers as well and they ended at about 8:45 for the last one but it died down at about 8:00 anyway
i could have had more tot'ers, but most just looked at my yard and begged their parents not to make them go in

I had all of 2 TOTers tonight between 5 and 6.. which beats my previous record of zero.

I had about 200-ish kids come to my door (that's not accounting for the re-peats) many of which were "bussed in" a la the back of truck beds and other vehicles with Sonoran (Mexico) plates. (I visited a friend one neighborhood over and they had like 5 ToT'ers... soooo... yeah.)

Got my first ToT'er at about 5:30pm. Peaked at about 6pm, when I blew through over half my candy. By 6:45pm I was out of 2 cost-co bags of candy, about 80 play doh and some disney card games. We turned out the driveway and front lights and STILL had kids ringing the doorbell.... probably because I left the pumpkins lit 'till around 10pm.

I did get some good scares in. I busted out my old Grim Reaper costume from 1999 and hooked the fogger and lights up in the doorway. I'll post photos... wasn't anything spectacular like we'd planned-- the original plan was to do Mad Science in the garage, but my husband was sick with the flu and I didn't want to set up and clean up without his assistance.

150-200... best night yet! Better than last year even, and that was a Saturday!

Next year I'm getting a tally board and actually keeping count.

Nah, they were teenage girls. It was inevitable! I tried going after them after I took the mask off, but they were already halfway down the block by then! =)

Over 50 TOTers!!! Good! Please never give up your Halloween and your own haunt yard display every year, or all year round if you can!

And, a very young sexy witch, 17, came over my place and looking up at me.... she stated that I am very cute guy... I told her that I am only older 35.... she really didn't care about my age, and I am still good-looking guy... I gave her a word "Thanks a lot!" She will come back to me anytime after Halloween.

someone must have spiked her koolaide................(I'm guessing it was iHaunt).....or it was Monique's little sister

0 tot-ers, MOst grown-ups can't find our house let alone children in the dark.
