I moved to an apartment when I was younger where no trick or treating happened. Then I moved to townhouses...where again, no trick or treating happened. So finally I purchased a home, in a regular neighbourhood and thought, "This time, there WILL BE TRICK OR TREATING!". But, alas, there's a rich neighbourhood right next to us that has townhouses right next to each other and the kids go there. Well, mostly, now we do have SOME kids coming to our door. What's the point of having all these animatronic monsters if I can't show them off at Halloween? Oh yeah, I put them in my room to scare my own kids! ;)
