That last pic looks like a horrible horrible experience. Waiting in line for a Smarties pack.
Parents today just ruin everything for real. Use to be they ruin bad fun like getting hammered or sex, but it's gone to far.
For goodness sake hand them a pillow case, and watch them from your car or end of the street if you have to be with them. Or get some older cousins, and just let them loose to have fun. Seriously they all have phones today.

Actually there are far less. It is the safest time in our country's history to be a child walking the streets for Halloween.

Nothing is what it once was these days.
I wish I could go back to the 80’s.

Parents who live in the hood and want to trick-or-treat where their kids will get nicer candy.
Families who live in rural areas where the houses aren't close enough to walk to, but want their kids to have that classic "halloween experience".

Wasting their time if they knock on my door.

In my experience Halloween isn't like it is any more is due to the vast amount of neighborhoods that has popped up during the last 10 years or so. I grew up during the 90's and where I lived they had maybe two neighbor hoods for miles, maybe. That was back when Ascension was nothing but woods.
In my neighborhood is was extremely crowded because most people didn't live in neighborhoods. Adults dressed up as the most craziest things, haunted walkways all sorts of stuff. I had the best Halloween ever, then ended the night at the haunted house and the Galvez fire depot.
My father lives in the same neighborhood, sadly he says he may get 5 trick or treaters now, and the fire depot don't do the haunted houses anymore.
The closest experience you get to that is out in St. Amant.

We never got 10 trick-or-treaters total at my house in Saint Amant growing up during my childhood. What people would do is pack the kids in the car and drive them to visit surrounding family. At each house, we would either get candy or some home-made dessert. One distant relative made the popcorn balls, one aunt had my dad’s favorite: peanut butter fudge, another had my favorite: pecan pralines, etc.
There was only one street we could walk up and down to trick or treat, and only a few of the houses participated.
However, one unfortunate year, Halloween fell on the friday of the big Saint Amant v. Catholic High game. Saint Amant was undefeated, and not a single house had anyone home handing out candy. Everyone but my mom and my brothers was at the game, including my dad. No candy for us that year

People have sucked the fun out of everything. The world is such an uptight place compared to what it was just a couple decades ago.

This is the real problem that is ruining the holliday. Kids over 5 get bored with it because it’s just another night with their parents dragging them around, and parents just want to get it over with after 10 minutes.
When I was a kid, my parents brought me trick or treating because I lived in a rural area that wasn’t walkable. She brought me to a nearby subdivision, but then stayed in the car and let me and my brothers wander alone! Halloween was for the kids, but more importantly, it allowed kids to make their own fun and be independent.
One of the biggest social problems I see is children not being allowed to develop independence because our current society thinks it’s a crime for children to ever be without a parent. 25 years ago, kids were kicked outside and told to play until the street lights come on. They were sent out on bikes and scooters to explore...alone! The early 90’s were the most dangerous time in America at the crime peak of the crack epidemic. Now, we coddle kids all the way up until they go to college, and they freak out when they get there and demand the college coddle them. They have no idea what to do alone, and this falls entirely on parents and busy bodies who made it a crime for kids to walk down the street to their neighborhood park unchaperoned. Halloween being ruined was a natural consequence.
Could not agree more

There are seemingly normal everyday people that take costume wearing really really seriously. Those are some weird arse people.

Sherwood Forest was great for Halloween. Everyone went door to door and got goodies.

Went down main Street for the local businesses giving out candy tonight. The quality of life there resembled Livingston parish/Pasco county.

The Church Fall Festival crowd that tells their daughter that Halloween is evil is setting her up for a spread them legs orgy fest in college.
This is a common misconception. Church girls engage in sexual activities in college at exactly the same rate as non-church girls do. It’s more about harmones and being human than what parents taught them regarding morality.
