I've had a Halloween tradition for three years now. I dress up as a skeleton and sit perfectly still next to my front door with a bowl filled with candy next to me. When the little children come, I wait for them to try to steal all of the candy. When that happens I stand up and the kids run away screaming. Works every time.
I am probably going to be every man nightmare.... the tax collecter!!! OR I will be some guy pretending to be dead and when kids come to see if I am alright I get up. Tried that at camp it was really funny, although some immature kids decided I was lagite and tried to beat me up.
Stuck in China. No trick or treaters likely to show up. Might get some candy anyway just in case. I can eat it myself if they don't show.
On the day, if I can find some fake jewelry/bling-bling, I'll throw that one with a T-shirt, sunglasses, toy gun in my baggy-jeans' waistband, and an askew ball cap -- and go as a rapper/gangsta dork.
If not, I'll just tell everyone I went as the Invisible Man.
