I appear to be in the minority that was allowed to trick or treat through my teenage years. I am the oldest of five, so it was fun to go with all my younger siblings and sometimes younger cousins as well. We’d go up and down our street, then drive around to different families we knew in throughout the stake.

Halloween was one of the few nights that the Deseret Towers floors were all open to the public (including the opposite sex), and making the rounds with other freshmen in costume was a lot of fun, as was giving out candy to the local children that came around.

I am such a scrooge, but I don’t like it when older kids TOT; I had a bunch come this year who didn’t even bother to dress up. I have no problem with them accompanying younger kids, but grabbing candy is pretty obnoxious, I think. College dorms is a different story, I guess. I don’t recall Helamen halls being open for TOT.

When I was 4, some lunatic drssed up in a gorilla suit and waited in the bushes for kids to come on his porch before he would jump out of the bushes at them. Scared me to death. What kind of an adult gets their kicks out of making 4 year olds cry? Save it for the teenagers!

I forgot my memory. It’s generic in that for three years running the snow was to our knees already, mom made us wear our snowsuits- no one knew what our costumes were.

3. ESO – you had kids show up who were not dressed up? Did you give them candy? I wouldn’t

4. JC – that sounds like a nice tradition.

5. JC – wow where was that? Alaska?

6. annegb – I guess we found ESO’s crazy person…

Where else would you have that much snow on Halloween except rural northern Minnesota…

Great response I shall be researching this topic further.
