I always went trick-or-treating in better neighborhoods growing-up. I was a well-mannered lil white boy, so they probably had no clue I didn't live there. For any Bay Area natives who may know where my pop's secret getaway was, where me and my brother pulled away with 5-10lbs of candy each after 3-4hrs(and packages of cookies or money for any house that made the mistake of not buying enough candy lol). It had one of the most infamous halloween houses in Tampa Bay...

Spoiler: show

(Carrolwood to be exact); the guy who lived there did a new theme every year that guaranteed to creep you the hell out. The most memorable ones for me were:

1 year he dressed as a knight statue, stood ontop of a stoop inbetween 2 columns(couldve just been some tall shrubbery) that ran along the path, you walked up to his pitch black porch(not even noticing him because the moonlight showed just enough to walk straight). Dude drops just as you pass him up and says nothing the whole time, walks past you and directs you to the candy.

Another year, was spider-themed, walking up to his, again, pitch-black house, cobwebs all over the place. No bowl on the porch, like wtf man, he's not doing it this year? Right when we thought about turning around, dude's door opens up and I can only remember parts of this fucking creepy spider costume(something outta cirque de sole almost), says nothing, reveals bowl of candy, picked out some and held it out (because he probably couldn't see shit lol).

I think I stopped going trick-or-treating when I was 16, I'd probably go back there if I had friends that didn't give a fuck like me lol Halloween sucks as an adult now and my neighborhood is always a ghost-town. It's all about that post-halloween candy sale, though.

Halloween special for them Bengals

From my neighborhood tonight

We have a lot of retired people here (SE of phoenix) and when stupid things like this happen, age and grumpiness is usually the culprit.

This is the exact same shit that happens in my neighborhood (west phoenix, peoria). People can't stand it anymore and they have just stopped handing out candy because it's become a little too much. I can understand being upset but why not just get the same amount of candy you normally would and pass it out and when you run out then stop or put up a sign saying you're out. Obviously it doesn't fix the problem that the kids who live there don't get anything but still. It's sad to see. Halloween sucks nowadays.

We didn't get a single trick or treater since as per usual our local tory councillor or whatever he is put these in through every letterbox in the area and lot of the people put them up in their windows so nobody even bothered to try around here...

Brits seem to have a weird love/hate relationship with halloween. It is a new and imported holiday (in the trick or treating and dressing up sense) but lot of people and kids love it because it is fun and shops try to push it because it means more sales. While others are just meh, bonfire night and Diwali are in a few days anyway, cba with this nonsense, bring on the fireworks.

Not a new holiday at all for brits.... Im 27 and used to trick or treat every year as a kid and made out like any american kid.

Meanwhile I even put up two signs and didnt get one trick or treater. I think kids dont come into apartment buildings Its sad because such little leg work for such a big reward.


also costumes for last two years

On the real cold Halloweens (which was like every other year here) we'd just hit the apartment blocks part of the city. Lots of them the caretaker of the building will have already gathered all the candies from the tenants and have huge bags waiting for us.

This is why child obesity is such a problem. If were going to set aside one day a year to let kids gorge themselves on free candy, at least make them do the leg work to get it lol.

Kids are the future, whether they're from your neighborhood or another. Chances are, you can't tell the difference between them anyway because hardly anyone even knows their neighbors these days (myself included). Sure, if you see the little shits getting out of hand, then put em in line, but don't give me all this "This is our neighborhood; go back to your own neighborhood" shit, because you probably don't even make a distinction the other 364 days of the year. If you had kids, and you were stuck living in some shitty area, then you'd probably take them to a better neighborhood too.

We bought a shitload of candy and didn't get a single trick-or-treater last night, either.

[Aksannyi]

I got four ... sad. I love seeing the kids in their costumes.

[Melena]

The best part of Halloween as an adult, hitting up the grocery store the day after for all the discounted candy. And Libentia, those costumes are awesome.

I'm glad the truck from Buckaroo Banzai and the Fall Guy is on there.

Can't help but think we've done this before, but some of these are really cool to see on there.

Spoiler: show

First tier, two points: The Lexus concept from Minority Report, the Audi concept from I Am Robot (not Tony Stark's R8), the police car from Demolition Man, Ambulance from Cannonball Run, Ferrari from Scent of a Woman.

Second tier, one point, can be tricky as being nondescript or less featured: Elanor, The semi from Big Trouble in Little China, '(Pretty please, with sugar on top, clean) The fuckin' car' from Pulp Fiction, the Bluesmobile, not to be confused with Green Hornet's Connie, the police car from Blade Runner, the mustang from Bullet which is not to be confused with the T-bird from Thelma and Louise, the v8 from Mad Max, a Ford Taurus police car (lol) from Robocop, the station wagon from National Lampoon's Vacation, Bond's submersible Esprit.

No points earned for: The Shaguar, Mutt Cuts van, Mystery Machine, Pizza Planet truck, Ghostbusters, A-Team van, General Lee, Nightrider, The Bandit's Trans-am, Herbie, Supra from F&F, Akira bike, the bus from Speed, Bond's silver Aston, Starsky and Hutch Gran Torino, Flying Ford Anglia from Harry Potter, the Cobra whatever-tank, Stairs Truck from Arrested Development, Mini Cooper from The Italian Job (every goddamn trailer and poster), BTTF Delorean, Mach 5, Cab from The Fifth Element, Halo Warthog, Aliens APC, Tron Lightcycle, Batman Tumbler, Lightning McQueen, Greased Lightning, Simpson Sedan, Keaton Batmobile, West Batmobile, Ricky Bobby's #62, Optimus Prime, Landspeeder.

That is not the RV from Independence Day. It might be from Terminator. One of those two angular things is from Total Recall, and I think both are from Arnie movies (Running Man comes to mind).

Ones I can't say I know: That Dusenberg looking thing, the yellow thing next to it, green lizard car, yellow mini, the two pickups that I think Dim identified, the yellow volkswagen van, the other green station wagon (no stuff on top), the green hearse, the green 2-1/2, the green SUV with blood splatter, black 80's sports car (looks like another Esprit), and the thing that is not the Dragula nor the Munster Mobile.

Why do I have such trouble with green things?

Disappointed to not see: Impala from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the eponymous Gran Torino.

Have some truly random images then:
Almost reposted the pill thing because it was hotlinked. I need BGBucket's hash names to keep track

Thank you!
We actually went trick or treating in the silent hill ones before the party we went to and got a shit tonne of candy, the adults were scared and amused, i just posed as the british tourist experiencing real halloween LOL! Spokane WA never gets tourists so you can imagine the haul of old people treats I snagged!
Moved to VA though near DC and the people here are all tourists! And buying the candy 'for the kids' (who didnt come) leaves me with the same amount of sweeties minus all the walking and dressing up. lol
