Parents spend 364 days a year telling kids not to talk to strangers or accept sweets, and then, come Halloween, they send them out begging door to door dressed as sexy witches in the dark. Genius.

Just gave some sweets to a bunch of youngsters all in great fancy dress. Two adults in charge, only knocking on doors of people they know in the area. Oh yes one of them was dressed as a witch but being six nothing sexy there. Get a grip man !!
Not out ..just doling out sweets at the door .
My son used to come back with a carrier bag full every year ..so just giving a little back ..
It’s great to see the effort some kids / parents go to with their fancy dress ..
Mischief night last night, Halloween tonight. Non of this American nonsense thanks.
Mind you it always seems the wrong way around, harassing and vandalising the neighbours one night then expecting sweets off them the next 🙂

Was going out, but Kevin Spacey’s coming over with some sexy kids
joshvegas- blame ET. While you and I might have watched that and noticed nothing out of the ordinary (apart from the some, obvs) it must have been completely new to many of those in the uneducated south.
Loads here. Got the night riding lights out in the hallway so I can cast a massive shadow on the front door as I stomp down the hall. Great atmosphere, lots of laughing
No sexy witches though. Need to have a word with my wife about that
Kids are out, my installation is currently successfully scaring little kiddies (have had a couple running to their mums in the last few minutes) – win!
One very unhappy 10 week old and two very stressed parents in our house right now, going to spend our first Halloween in a new neighbourhood with the lights off, doorbell unhooked and car parked round the corner 🙁

Freudian slip by councilof10 ?
Your misreading of my post says far more about you, and coyote, than Freud would ever deduce from what I wrote. I said DRESSED AS sexy witches. Nowhere did I say the children were sexy or that I found them sexy. Morons.
Thankfully no banging on the door at all so far, but lights are off while watching telly, and there’s a curtain across the front door so the Christmas lights* around the kitchen window don’t show through the glass, the house looks empty as a result.
*Put them up years ago and found them handy going into the kitchen at night to get a drink or stick something in the microwave without needing to put main lights on, so they’re in use all the time.
I think shib protesteth too much. I have to admit it wouldn’t have occurred to me to describe the way kids are dressed for Halloween as “sexy”. Maybe some of the mums who dress up, but not the kids.
Got a Fire pit in the front garden, Im dressed as scary clown..
Let the kids and parents toast their own marshmallows instead of handing out sweets.. seems like a big hit.
My kids are out with mrs cloudnine and the dog (dressed as a giant spider) scrounging sweets around the village
Round here there’s a simple code – pumpkin outside you can knock, if there isn’t you don’t. Seems to work and if you don’t want to do Halloween you don’t have to hide.
I’m definitely having fun – got the last lot of kids to jump 3 times – they kept saying “there’s sensors” (there are, it has a PIR sensor to start the sequence – I can tell when people are coming) but it still made them jump. It seems the key is to have pauses of it not doing anything, wasn’t anywhere near so effective when it was continuous.
Well, our street has been stripped clean of sweets, the boy has a weighty bag full himself and we’ve had a fair few (very friendly) kids knocking on our door. I remember Halloween very fondly as a kid and I’m glad to see that, round here at least, it’s still got a lot of the charm it had when I was young.
Oh and I properly LOLed at the “Office Halloween Costume” link above. Wonderful 🙂
Back. Slightly sugar shocked. We- us lot and another family – hit up one of the local streets that are all in competition with each other, and they get better each year. Loads of people out, seems more than last year.
Scottish people – looked up guising. Didn’t know it was a thing. So you gave it to the Americans and they gave it to the English? Long way round.
