We always got dressed up and went door-to-door to all the houses in our own neighborhoods, usually for several hours.
I was talking with friends today and there were stories of people driving or busing kids into the "good" neighborhoods, which I had heard of before, but still some walking house to house. One couple I know gave away about 2,000 pieces of candy before running out.
One thing I had never heard of was "trunk-or-treat" where basically a bunch of cars gather in a church parking lot and hand out candy to kids who have to walk all of 6 feet from one candy trough to the other. Has society really gotten so lazy that parents have to take kids to one compressed feeding frenzy location instead of spending a nice night walking house to house?
