A couple hundred.

I live on this wicked quiet street and people drop off the kids and there are SWARMS of them. They come in groups of 10-20.

Only 8. Dead end street a little after most of the sidewalks end.

About 75. More than the last two years, which I expected. But far less than we used to get in our neighborhood.

They scored all their fentanyl before they got to your house.

About 125. My street is hidden and usually quiet on Halloween, but we had several large groups this year. Glad I was ready!

My Bayswater neighborhood gets hundreds of kids. The energy is absolutely wonderful!

None. But it was super quite out. Not sure why fewer people were out this year… maybe cause it was a Monday?

100+ they were being bussed in from RI- I had to close my doors in a hour I was wiped out

Zero

I also live in a Republican town that tries to ban books and thinks that everyone is handing out edible fentanyl.

Sad.

Over 300…we had to turn off the lights before 8 because we ran out of candy

10-20 years ago, our neighborhood used to get swarms - upwards of 500 I think -- it's a suburban neighborhood with low car traffic and lots of houses. Kids used to get dropped off. But in the last 10, the numbers have dwindled as kids seemed to go to more parties instead. Covid wiped out most of the rest. MAYBE had 50 last night.

I get 0 every year and still I make goodie bags just in case.

About 50. Less than last year which was about double.

offtopyk t1_iup7u8f wrote

Probably 200. Maybe more.

Zero, probably because it was a Monday. I expected at least a few because of the mild weather. More kids stopped by in 2020 when the weather stunk and the pandemic was in full swing. This year, we took our little kids out at 5:30pm, and we saw no other trick or treaters.

ferretninja91 t1_iupca8q wrote

got a bunch in Hull, kids came in droves! ran out of candy pretty quickly

JaKr8 t1_iupemdz wrote

Where we are in the Berkshires we get 0. Our neighborhood there is remote and has no kids. We spent it at our house on CT ( also kind of remote) and had about 65, which is about double our normal tally. We almost ran out of candy!... I had to dig into my personal stash of peanut butter cups to make it through!!

Paleyam75 t1_iupflxx wrote

There was none out when I went with my kids but the people we saw were all nice and gave up extra candy bc we were the only ones

LadyGreyIcedTea t1_iupghnn wrote

I got about 6 kids. I usually get probably 75-100.

20-30, but over really early.

About a dozen on my street in JP, which honestly is more than I expected so I was pretty happy with the turnout.

BF1shY t1_iupp8px wrote

Maybe 30 or so.

I can't tell if I'm being crazy but there was no eye contact. The kids looked down at me giving candy, the parents kinda just looked at the kids or at the ground. I would say Hello or Happy Halloween and no one would look up and really engage me lol.

Is this post COVID socially awkward world or just social media and phones or something?

I live in the center of town, I couldn't find literally anywhere to park. People were everywhere. I miss living in the woods.

straycatbri t1_iuq10up wrote

maybe 60. they would come in WAVES and then be silent for an hour. i had a ton of candy so i was giving lots and lots in hopes of making kids nights. got yelled at by 2 dads. it was my first time doing this so that kind of sucked.

but the kids were very polite and nice and always lit up when i told them to take as much as they could.

  1. I usually keep count to estimate the next year. It’s Down from a record of 125 in 2015. It was such a mild night I had hoped to break 100. Now I have to eat 50 full size bars. I’m not going to poop right for a month.

None. We live on a quiet, woodsy road. All the smart parents take their kids to more densely packed neighborhoods.

  1. My driveway is about 350 feet long. Kids miss out. We hand out pokemon booster packs and king-size candy.

I turned my lights out, but also noticed the whole street was dark. We used to be a destination but since COViD started , it feels like an entire generation of kids is missing

3

Watchfull_Hosemaster t1_ius97mb wrote

Probably around 50 - 75 kids came around.

​

It was pretty moderate, but a little slower than it has been in previous years.

Definitely, sure as heck isn’t the same atmosphere as when I was a kid.. it’s depressing. I remember when the streets were so crowded you had to either wait or go to a different house until that house was clear

People are all traveling to non-native neighborhoods to get a better experience. The result is some neighborhoods that don't get anybody anymore and others that get rocked.
