noticed the same.

very few kids do it (at least a much much smaller percentage than maybe 20 years ago). like I remember just tons of kids on each street ...now its like crickets with a kid or two interrupting you basically.

[SirFapsAIot]

My town was infested with trick or treaters, srs. I wouldn't care if it went away, srs.

[Destor]

Lots of kids where I’m at

[blissful88]

It's the parents because they know better; we all know what happens when you go out at night in 2023

You get jogged

in the 90s there were thousands in each neighborhood

now there are barely a handful

idk what happened to american culture

[Vhagar]

I’ve had maybe 15 kids come by

What a joke. I remember standing on porches with 10+ kids and and waiting for other groups to clear out so we could get in there. Better times

i've had 0 knocks at my door today... maybe because I live in a cold area now...

but america is simply not the same

[MikeLowrrrey]

Maybe its your neighborhood? Maybe its the weather? I will say Christmas and Thanksgiving isn't the same.

Thanksgiving everyone eats then rushes for black Friday to consumemaxx. Christmas its all about gifts


If I ever have kids I will carry on the tradition

[andrepmeet]

Anyone who says "well, not in my neighborhood!" doesn't understand that we're referring to the overall trend of decline.

maybe it the price of candy in Bidens america? but even less children during Trump as well.

I don't know...it could be that candy isn't as desirable as whatever is on the internet. that would be my guess. prolly seems like a waste of time if parents say they will just buy their kid whatever candy they want + mcdonalds while they surf their ipads.

[MajorTendonitis]

It’s just below zero here and I’ve had less than 20 kids . The weird thing is they are coming much later at night. At one time I’d rarely see a kid after 7 pm , now the teenagers are out after 9 .
I thought with the mild weather I’d get more this year , but I’ve had the least amount in 20 years .
Even my regulars aren’t showing up

How do you know there's a decline without looking at different neighborhoods though?

less kids srs

in the 90s those were kids born in the mid to late 80s (boomer kids). there were TONS of boomers so tons of boomer kids


nowadays low fertility rate, less kids etc

there were a ton of kids in my town though. too many honestly (ran out of candy)

[LuigiMiami631]

Only the illegal mexican single moms with their 5 kids doing it here.

I’ve lived here my whole life and spent many halloweens in snow boots. The weather isn’t a reason

Also, I live in one of the least diverse states so getting jogged isn’t a concern. Kids probably just don’t give a chit. I’m sad about it. Halloween was one of my favorite days as a kid, and it seems to have just died and become a day sloots have an excuse to dress like whores.

only trash go door to door. White kids do it at their church or school

[TryingMen]

I had about 100 kids come by. It depends on the neighborhood. Some will be a ghost town and others will have tons of them.

Curious how many of you actually live in the suburbs though. If you're in the city or close to it no one is trick or treating in those areas. If you do live in the suburbs then the next step is you have to live in the safe and wealthy parts.

Clearly miscers not doing as well as they often like to brag about if none of you had kids come by lmao

[MajorTendonitis]

Some young sloot was just at my place . She’s packing a baseball bat in her left arm . Smart kid ,better safe than sorry

[DeadlyStriker]

There were barely any out by me but that was because it randomly turned into a blizzard and it was 30 degrees out. I still saw some kids make the trek though for candy.

[H00J]

Dude I can’t believe how dead my neighborhood is

Went outside and saw a few local late walkers like usual

If it wasn’t Halloween no one would notice (srs)

[eodWasRight]

multiculturalism doesn't work





Also, it all changed in 2012





Before 2012, everybody went out to trick or treat

Was thinking this. Usually the wealthy neighborhoods are where the kids go to. The big mansions and historic districts with $400k homes.

If you live in a poverty neighborhood you won't see many

[TryingMen]

wat state

Tennessee


Down here though we still have traditional values unlike most of the rest of you. LMAO at living in progressive areas. F*ck that sh*t. Everyone here still celebrates all the holidays with vigor.

I remember like brah said we would be walking down the block
And you can see the lines on people porches n ****

U could see the 1 haunted house on the block and anticipate the feels

It’s over

when will you retards realize


eod was right

[andrepmeet]

How do you know there's a decline without looking at different neighborhoods though?

because although kids always traveled to better neighborhoods on Halloween thus some neighborhoods would be packed, you still had a steady stream of kids coming through less-rich neighborhoods. prol similar to how you simply see less kids playing it the street, although you might see them in a cul-de-sac neighborhood. still rare.

muh guess is

1) the internet/gaming changed gave them something else to do

2) information overload amplified the likelihood of something bad happening (bad candy, robbed, etc.)

3) parents working more

4) just general disinterest by kids cuz maybe kids don't hang out in groups by neighborhood anymore and more to do with social affiliations/church

heres what happening

there are less kids in general relative to the 90s

with social media and smart phones parents all know about the "cool" areas to trick to treat to take photos and flex. so people DRIVE to the hot areas where they are busier than ever.

its basically like dating due to tinder. 80/20 rule. 20% of the streets will get 80% of the trick or treaters


in nyc area go hang out in garden city, glen ridge, ridgewood, bronxville, montclair and numerous other areas and tell me trick or treating is dead.

[GaryCarnivals]

were never going back to this huh? it's over
