Not alot of trick-or-treaters this halloween?

Question

I was shocked I only got like 6 kids this year usually there are tones and tones of people coming to my door and I hated running backing and forth! LOL What is up? Is it because of the whole H1N1 parents didn't want there kids going around?

although it really just depends on the area, i also noticed an incredibly small turnout this year for trick-or-treaters.
i attributed it to the N1H1 scare and the economic problems that keep people from spending too much money on candy and costumes.
i also think that parents would much rather have their kids celebrate during the day at school sponsored events or with churches, museums and zoos so that they can stay safe. not a lot of parents are happy taking their kids to strangers houses at night, but i'm sure this isn't just a recent thing.
as for the area that you live in, either there aren't a lot of kids there, or their parents did the smart thing and drove them to a rich neighborhood to get all the "good candy." i know i was thinking about doing that.
and though there weren't many kids out, there was certainly no shortage of drunk adults in half naked costumes (that's the guys, girls were about 80% naked) partying here in miami.

Yes I heard about churches and other stuff in my area doing stuf for the kids so they wouldn't have to go out

Answer 2

I'm not sure, I went trick or treating and only like 3 people were giving candy out and I didn't see anyone else walking around O_O

Answer 3

must be just around ur neighborhood, mine was jam packed, cars lining the streets, kids,kids, kids everywhere. it took me and a friend 20 min to get out of my neighborhood, which is kinda small

Answer 4

I'm not sure, but it would make sense for it to be because of H1N1. Though you would think there would have been more kids out this year - seems like a lot more people would appreciate free candy in this economy!

Answer 5

Nooooo. it may just be your area.

If you're in an area where there isnt many kids around where yew live, it'll be like that. i went trick or treating with my friend and the neighborhood we went to didnt have many kids.

Answer 6

got like sixty kids and about twenty teens. slow for me, but it was raining here in jersey. (VOTE FOR DAGGETT!!!) Still got the minivans of kids coming to the door... but my display is a sick, twisted reflection of my mindscape...so... well, it brings in the trick or treaters.

Answer 7

In my neighborhood, we bought 4 bags of candy and there was none left..we had to shut the light off cause we ran out of candy!
