Annual Halloween Is Being Stolen From Today's Children

Halloween has turned into a fragmented, watered down version of what is used to be. Instead of everyone trick or treating on Halloween night, parents take their kids to "safe zones" like churches or parking lots or down commercial streets where they can go collect candy while wearing a costume (I don't call that trick or treating). These events trypically aren't even on Halloween. Some towns schedule a night for trick or treating that's not even on Halloween night. Why!?
We are robbing our children of one of the most special times of being a child. There's nothing like trick or treating on Halloween night. Seeing mobs of kids all walking the dark streets at the same time, having nearly all houses in all neighborhoods with their lights on inviting trick or treaters, and being able to look forward to that night every year without having to ask "what night are we allowed to trick or treat this year?"
Halloween should not be a carefully planned, controlled event where old people force kids to engage in Halloween on the old people's terms. Halloween is Halloween and old people should deal with it and give the kids the Halloween they got when they were kids!

I've questioned my neighborhood why I am expected to sit out in my drive way. Parents won't have them come up to the door and ring the door bell or knock. I'm not getting off my couch and away from my tv for that reason

Depends. My son would wait till the trick or treaters stopped coming, put on an army jacket and fatigues, grab a pillow case, and go around taking the rest of our neighbors candy off the hands of the parents that didn't want any leftovers.

Do we really need this thread from you every year?

Pastor Steve is hosting trunk-or-treat in the church parking lot at 5pm on Friday so the kids don't have to be out in the dark or go door to door on a school night. Only cute, fun costumes too; nothing scary because he said that's too close to devil worship

My neighborhood is like this.
Also, the neighborhood group has gotten so tired of the "why can't we trick or treat on the weekend this year" women that they openly mock them for months before Halloween. It really ended the chatter.

trunk or treat is great for the diabetees business. kids dont even have to go door to door. they walk down a row of cars, get all the processed sugar they need for the year, and are home 20 mins later.

Depends on where you live, in shitty towns that have gotten run over by libs it’s changed bc it’s no longer safe.
It’s still like it use to be where I live

Halloween is huge in my neighborhood. Gathering before for food and drinks. And then trick or treating all through the neighborhood after it gets dark. Parents have a good time, kids have a good time.

1. Truck or treats were a thing in the 80s (spearheaded by churches trying to diminish the "devil's holiday)
2. We still get loads of kids coming door to door in our hood

Thank God there were no RING cameras back in the day to capture what we did to the old bat’s house that handed out apples instead of candy

Because the toddler/baby industry is far more profitable than preteen boys.

boomer parents normalized this (because they were too fat/lazy to walk around) and the following generations of parents only made it worse.

That is the least of the younger generation’s issues.

Halloween is a shell of it's former self, but that isn't top 10 in my list of things that I'm worried about for my kids. I'm more worried their 1st grade teachers will tell them to cut their dicks off.
