Just shut down the fog machine, final count was 39 kids! Pretty good considering the cold weather.

man, i am probably right around the 200 mark, I lost count so that number may be off by about 20ish.

Maybe 35 at my place. I really don't consider this cold though. growing up in Jasper I've trick or treated many brutal cold nights.

wow 200?! Haven't had a haul like that since I was the kid actually doing the trick-or-treat'ing.

Tonight I would say we had roughly 30 kids.

Hardly any young families live around here any more.

I was in the basement playing video games/working out, and the Mrs. forgot to turn on the outside light, lol. Was wondering why I didn't hear the door bell.

Same here, guess there aren't many kids in my area.

None. Being on the 13th floor of a high rise with access to only the occupants in possession of scan cards helps. :D

Minimum 120. I bought 3 boxes of the Costco 120 count chocolate bars and at two per kid (minus the house cut!) I am deep into the third box.

What is all this talk about cold weather? It's maybe -5, I remember when I was a kid (only 15 years ago) we'd go out in -15, with snow.

Only 12 kids at our place this year, it's real pitiful.

in Coventry, around the corner from the elementary school.

But then again, I had 3 inflatables on my lawn, one being 12 feet tall and illuminated, and with it being cold tonight, the halloween music I had blaring outside was travelling pretty far, I think it acted as a beacon.

10-31-2012, 10:47 PM
^Haha me too.

However, my apartment building's idea of security is that you can only go to the floor you live on. Your key fobs, one scanned will only take you to your floor, main floor and parking. So, I kinda knew I wouldn't be expecting any at my door. lol

10-31-2012, 10:53 PM
^ x2. 0 kids. Apt living... Didn't even have to buy candy!

Elgin, can't say forsure but looked like a low turn out.

We left a big bowl of candy on the front steps and took Sillysod Jr. out to raid the neighbourhood. Got a pillowcase worth.

We're in Chaparral, loaded with young families. Damn near every house on the street has little kids. That's why I was so surprised with ~85ish as previous years (including 2011) we had in the range of 200.

~50 , happy enough with the turnout, still miss from when I was a kid and the streets were packed cause kid's weren't pussies. I remember designing costumes to fit over top of my winter jacket , now kids to go the mall, dafuq is that?!

When I lived in Woodbine, we would get 275-300 trick or treaters. This year my parents saw only 10.

I live in a Condo building though so I got zero haha.

Also it was kind of shitty out, so many probably didn't bother.

When I was younger I used to go to town house complexes to maximize my candy in the shortest time haha.

My friends in Auburn Bay had hardly any either, and there are TONS of kids and young families there. Must have been the weather.

92 in Braeside at my parents' house. I hand out candy at my parents' house as no one will come to an acreage.

I took Minion out T'oT'n, and she nailed so much candy I had to carry her bag for her. I think it was pretty much net neutral based on what my wife handed out, and what she brought in. Based on the amount of kids roaming around, I'd say we broke 100 easy.

Almost no kids here in Tuscany. After 7, my wife just left the bowl on the porch. By 7:30, it was empty. Judging by how many kids actually rang the doorbell, I have a sneaking suspicion the last kid must've emptied the whole thing into their bag LOL.
