Are you ready for Halloween? Do you care? Do you get trick or treaters? I know I know, it's too early for it but the ads for Christmas and Thanksgiving is already out there and in Mexico they're already advertising all Saints day so why shouldn't I post this, right?
I found an old song I'd forgotten about and it's a doozy ..... I like rock n roll so if you don't then don't watch the video, ok?

We don't get any trick or treaters so we really don't do anything for Halloween. Have a good day.

Golden Earring... didn't they do Radar Love?
I didn't get any trick or treaters last year, so I'm not gonna bother this year.

Yes @barbaraprz they did and I almost used that video when I found this one, I remember hearing this on one of the movies I had watched.

The funny thing is stores have put out Halloween since August . . . so as much as I love Halloween, every year it seems like I'm getting my fill of it from too early on. I have bought most of our candy stash (for us) but we won't be opening doors for trick or treaters. I remember this song - haven't heard it in years !!

@rebelann In past years, we were just never home - we were out trick or treating ourselves! I'd put out a big tub of candy with a sign that says 1-2 pieces only. And kids were good about it. But when I took out the sign, that's when the greedy few take them all. I still want to have fun with it one year doing these things personally . . . but well, not this year.
Ah, this was in a movie? I have no idea . . . but I do remember it from the 80s.

I don't blame you, it just isn't safe anymore for anyone to open doors to strangers.
I'd been listening to Radar Love and thought I'd look up the band when I found this one, I wish I could remember the movie that used it cuz that's where I heard it before.

You would think, being a former horror writer and horror magazine editor, that Halloween would be the one holiday I'd get more excited about. But I don't. We rarely hand out candy since for whatever reason we don't get a lot of trick or treaters on our block. I remember one year we bought a ton of candy and while it didn't go to waste, I had more candy left than I ever got in the entire time I trick or treated during my childhood. lol

We are too far in the country to get Trick or Treaters.

I used to enjoy Halloween we used to just do some fun things back in Latvia. Just at home, In my younger days I always enjoyed dressing up, Now I just watch some horror movies and I am done with it, On our little block no trick or treaters ever come, Never heard these guys before,

My relatives do not celebrate Halloween anymore due to the lack of money by feeding the humans and animals inside the home. Our outdoor lights stay off on Halloween.

I hadn’t heard that song in a long time!
Our apartment complex has a Halloween party on the 30th, so we never get trick or treaters. Which is good because I don’t think I could afford the amount of candy needed for the amount of kids that live here.

We will get our grandchildren come to the door in their costumes, but there has never been any other children come around to this neighbourhood. There are alot of people our age in this area and there is almost no traffic and when their is it is early and it is visitors such as family.
I just love seeing the video clip, an oldie but a goldie.

I've never even seen any trick or treaters here, most of them attend church or school functions instead of going house to house
Yeah, I'd seen a clip of Radar Love so looked up Golden Earring and found this song, I remember hearing it in a movie I'd watched but I don't remember the movie.

We never used to care much for Halloween in England but American horror movies changed all that

There are some really good horror movies like Dracula with Bella Lugosi or the Mummy.

We don't get trick or treaters now. Around here they only tend to knock doors that have decorations out where they know they are welcome. All my creepy decor is inside the house all year round.
