We got very few this year, which is usual for us. The first year we didn't get any, in spite of window stickers, Rocky's assorted decor, and blasting (relatively speaking) a really good cable music station that was doing all really good Halloween stuff. This is a matter of location. We're used to getting fifty or a hundred ghouls, goblins, vampires and the inevitable power ranger. (No Potter. We've never seen one in a Potter outfit.)

A handful of older kids in very proper witch outfits showed up and received the usual chocolate plus Starburst tropicals. We've got tons left over. No old-fashioned candy this year. Our netflick (Curse of the Demon) didn't arrive, so we watched Arsenic and Old Lace again and made evil chocolate pie.
