in reply to My idea of Halloween fun

I find, my joy is in opening the door (of my house) on a bunch of unsuspecting people, and screaming 'Trick or Treat' at them before they get the chance to say anything...
It's kinda fun watching the thought processes going beyond the conditioning of "They open the door, they scream trick or treat, they expect something".. :)
I think that's about the time they actually realise there may well be scary things abroad that night.. The grinning apparition at the door being one of them. :)

On halloween, I go as myself. That really scares people. :)
