None.
Glad to hear other folks got them, though – I was despairing about the Youth of Today. Hell, if it were okay, I would still go trick-or-treating every year.

In recent years I have had armies of trick or treaters descend upon my house on Hallowe’en and have had to make emergency trips to the store to buy more candy when I ran short. This year I decided I would be ready for the swarms of kiddies. I bought five bags of candy, worrying that I would still run out. And I got about 15 trick or treaters.
So now I have enough candy left to keep me on a sugar high till Christmas.
Eating the leftover candy is one of the joys of Halloween. We didn’t have any leftover candy this year 
I feel so gyped.
Two, and they were my landlords kids. So they got my candy and my rent, it’s a good thing they didn’t want blood too 
One! I was so disappointed! I left work early and carved up pumkins and the whole shit-a-ree, all for one lousy kid! (he was cute, dressed as a frog)
What the hell? I know I live in the middle of nowhere, but there are all kinds of kids around our small little enclave of civilization. What has happened to this holiday for kids that has diminished it so? Too many freaks? How sad…
My wife, The QueenBee, dressed our little guy up (just one year old and starting to walk!) and took him around to a few houses. She says he strode confidently up to the door and with a little prompting, shouted “Twa ta Ta!” and brought home a few goodies. Wish I could have seen it, but I was home maning the fort to distribute small consumables to the non-existant Trick or Treaters.

50-60 although about 2/3 of them were car-pooled in from other neighborhoods - do people do this where you live?
I bought three bags of candy.
I had two trick-or-treaters.
If I had known they would be the only ones, I would have given them a lot more candy.
None. Like others in this thread, we were out shopping during the prime treat hunting hours. I bought two bags of candy just in case because I had completely forgot about the bag of dark chocolate Kisses we had in the fridge. That’s the second time I forgot about those Kisses, I had found them in the back of the fridge a couple of months ago and have no idea how long they’ve been there.
We had just the one. He was delicious.
We estimated around 200 kids which really suprised me. Both LadyLion and I bought candy not knowing the other one did and both bought more than we thought we’d need. We had to shut the lights off before nine when we were nearly out. No reason to be stingy, two fun size Hershey bars or a bar and a tootsie pop each. Same thing for the older kids who weren’t even marginally in costume. I did give some a hard time, “you aren’t even trying.” “Uh, I’m a hobo.” Eh, works for me.
We are a destination neighborhood because it’s one of the few big neighborhoods in the area. Around here it’s mostly small streets opening off main roads. So hit the 10 houses on your street and then walk along the main road (no sidewalk) to the next street. People bring their kids to our neighborhood because it only has two entrances off the main roads and you can trick-or-treat within the neighborhood for hours. Consequently we get a lot of trick-or-treaters. We don’t even bother to count. We went through 4 Costco bags of candy. There were even a couple of kids going around on their ponies. One was the headless horseman, the other was a maiden on a unicorn.
Forty one. Totally unremarkable, except that it is exactly the same number we got last year. Hmmmmm.
47, but then I ran out of paintballs. I thought I got 50, but the other 3 really were nuns. 
About 150. Another destination neighborhood. Normally I shut the lights off at eight because the big kids don’t even bother with costumes. However, early last night I had a future King of Comedy. He and his buddy turned up without costumes so I asked him where his was. He asked if I’d ever watched Saturday Night Live. I told him “before you were born, son.” He laughed and then went into an Adam Sandler routine where he put his finger over his upper lip and said it was a moustache, yada, yada. I told him the dialog was worth the candy.
About 30 or 40 came by, but I only got four. Those little suckers can be hard to catch.
Seriously, I was at work except for a half-hour at home on lunch break, but during that half hour I saw about 40 out walking down the streets in chaperoned packs. And one kid who had to be seventeen, alone, with no costume, walking around with a pillowcase. He had some candy in there too.
Kids these days!
- Last year we got 10, the year before 100 even.
Then again, last year my town decided to hold Beggar’s Night on October 24th. They claimed they did it because the 31st “was a Wednesday”. Apparently the city council didn’t notice the fact that the 24th was also a Wednesday. In any case, the date was screwed up, no one knew when it was, and the weather was bad. Result: Very few ToTers.
Well, Gingy, I didn’t get much of a chance to taste my trick-or-treaters, but they did look yummy.
Yep… three guys who were about my age come up to my door and knock on it. I open the door, and I’m staring at a cowboy/farmer, a man in a suit, and a guy who appears to have breasts under his shirt. I’ve got a drawer full of candy from my “big sister” [I’m pledging to a co-ed criminal justice fraternity] which I wasn’t about to give away; luckily the drawer was closed, so I replied that I didn’t… also adding that they were a little old for trick-or-treating. Crazy chill’buns.
They do have sanctioned areas for trick or treaters on my campus, though. It happens to be in a dorm across campus and they do restrict the trick-or-treating to little kids. Wednesday they had a Boys and Girls Club halloween party for little kids in the lobby of my dorm. I didn’t go in favor of going to a meeting and RHPS, though.
Any other college students get trick-or-treaters in their dorm/neighborhood?
I ate 4 times as much candy as I gave out. And I ate eight.
It was about 30 degrees last night and that supposedly scared them off. Now I have a bag of Reeses to eat. Later!
We got a single group of three. The year before, we got about 15 or so.
While the wife stayed home, I went out with our three kids. We hit about 15 houses, so we’ve got a ton of candy. But it seemed weird, wandering the streets in the dark with about every fifth house lit for the holiday.
Of course, we in a part of Hershey that’s away from the main drag, so we would only get the locals about. Next year, we do the neighborhood, then get in the car and see what the rich folks give out!
