2734	Article	Vaporman87	Just bus them in. Or tell your college students to spread the word. Make it mandatory to show up in costume. LOL		Sep 30, 2015
2739	Article	Hoju Koolander	I loved the breakdown here. We so often tske these participants in Halloween for granted. What would we do without them? I am happy to count myself as the neighborhood True Believer, creating a new theme each year for the kids to enjoy. I haven't taken to chasing them with Chainsaws yet though.

2741	Article	mickyarber	Great article. It brings back a lot of memories. My grandmother lived on a street that was full of older folks who all gave out candy. At the end of the street was a house like you mentioned at the end. It was a younger couple, and from quite a distance you could see the eery golw of orange and black lights, and all the kids you would run into had different theories about what would be found there. It was always the last stop of the trick or treating, and the anticipation built until you finally stopped by there. It was always the best candy haul, and best enviroment on that night. Look forward to reading more of your memories.	The Unsung Heroes of Halloween	Oct 02, 2015
2742	Article	onipar	Hoju, I knew you'd be a True Believer! :-) That sounds like you go all out. The chainsaw thing...yeah, I'd be afraid to do it these days. Thanks, Micky! Wow, that house sounds pretty killer! I kinda wish I could still go trick or treating. :-p	The Unsung Heroes of Halloween	Oct 02, 2015
2765	Article	scojer	I use to remember the houses where I got floss or healthy stuff. I'd never go back to those houses again. I remember the houses that were decorated I would go back a few minutes later and get even more candy from them! They would give out the biggest hauls, and I just couldn't help going back a second time. The thing that made those front liners awesome, is that they would often recognize me, and say "Back for more?" They didn't seem to mind putting even more candy into my bag.

2770	Article	onipar	Ah, so true, scojer. Sometimes I just love to pile the candy in because I know it makes the kids happy.	The Unsung Heroes of Halloween	Oct 04, 2015
2779	Article	NLogan	<img style="width: 276px; height: 206px;" src="/images/postImages/1444088763halloween - 2011 - chris 135.jpg"> Wanna be true believer here. We have always decorated the house to the gills; but confession here, most years we turned out the lights and left to do trick-or-treating of our own. We usually wait until our immediate neighbors send their kids around then leave ourselves and hit their houses. I trick-or-treated until a ripe old age because my little brother came around and was 14 years younger than me and well he needed someone to show him the ropes. Then my kids came and I still trick-or-treat with them. My years my little brother's years my sons' years = well over twenty years of trick-or-treating! I always buy good stuff plus i.e. good candy bars plus small Halloween toys to throw in the cauldron. Some years a grandparent mans the door as we make our yearly rounds but most of the time there are few trick-or-treaters as we live on the side of a mountain and little legs tire quickly. The spoils of the cauldron get mixed in with my sons' haul at the end of the night. For a few years in high school we had dummys in the yard and were mixed in with them in costume, other years we have had mini-haunted houses etc. I look forward with dread and delight to when my kids are too old to go and the parties/decorations we can do when we can properly man our stations at home for All Hallow's Eve. <img src="/images/postImages/1444088640Halloween2005boo.gif">	The Unsung Heroes of Halloween	Oct 05, 2015
2780	Article	NLogan	Oh and for those that may be wary of language there are a few choice words at the end of the video.	The Unsung Heroes of Halloween	Oct 06, 2015
2783	Article	Vaporman87	Video? I never doubted your true believer status NLogan. Your entry in last year's contest pretty well cemented that as fact.	The Unsung Heroes of Halloween	Oct 06, 2015
2784	Article	onipar	Wow, sounds amazing NLogan. You are most definitely a True Believer! :-) Vaporman, he is referring to the video I embedded in my article (Just Take One). At the very end a recurring character form their earlier Halloween videos appears and rattles off a bunch of his "catch phrases" which contain plenty of f-bombs and more. If you need to remove the video, I understand.	The Unsung Heroes of Halloween	Oct 06, 2015
