Trick-or-Treating Hours

[iHaunt]

So what is your trick-or-treating hours in your own area? City and state?

Mine in Norfolk, Virginia - TOTing hours has been reset for the 2009 Halloween season from 5:30pm until 8:00pm.

Up here in Maine, well, hours just don't seem to matter anymore because so very few people are even going out lately. Funny, even though Halloween is quickly becoming the most popular holiday in the country, there are less and less trick-or-treaters every year. Last Hallows Eve, I went out and saw only three or four children in my neighborhood (what a freaking travesty). People are just too scared to let their children out alone, I think, and too lazy to tag along.
What this world needs is for every man, woman, and child to watch 'The Halloween Tree', and trick-or-treating will once again be the magical event it once was.

trick or treating in Kelowna B.C. is around 5.30 to 8:30 pm and here too the people are to scared to let the kids out....the mall is a big thing here. SO LAME!!!!!! but if i get even three kids iam happy. i just love carving pumpkins and decorating my house!

I have lived in 3 different states and TOTers usually start right after dinner. I remember when i was little coming home from school already in my costume ready to go and begging my mom to eat dinner early, that's back when kids could actually wear their costumes to school without fear of it being innapropriate.

Here's something else, I have a rule for my TOTers. NO COSTUME, NO CANDY!!!! Am I being unfair? And believe me I stick to it. Well, the only people that have the nerve to go TOTing without a costume are teenagers who have yet to grasp the concept of how expensive candy can be. Put some effort into it people! It's amazing my house hasn't been egged yet.

Never heard of set hours for TOT's? Usually we start getting the real little ones about 6 PM or so. Get the last of them usually before 9 PM.

Why does everyone have fairly good trick-or-treat hours but me? Around here (Southwestern PA) it starts at noon on the Saturday before Halloween and ends around 2 PM. Last year's was slightly better and was in the evening on Halloween (the way it should be!), but only because it rained on the original day. -_-

Considering for a fact that i live in an apartment and there is plenty of little kids but not so much at all. it only last for about 5 seconds of trick or treaters and thats it. what a record for the lowest trick or treaters for an apartment residential area lol. besides people take their kids trick or treating in their cars instead of walking.

not sure when the hours are this yr. usually they're 6-8 pm, but since it falls on a saturday i don't know if the hours are extended.

[angel222]

since halloween is going to be on a saturday i think there is going to be a lot of kids this year.

[Wicked Witch]

I really really hope so - It is so much fun to see them going around in their costumes and seeing them wonder if something is going to jump out at them. Or drop on their shoulder (we had a spider that dropped periodicaly)....LOL

Denver, CO is usually 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Since Halloween is on a Saturday this year, I'm sure they will allow TOT to start earlier, but they don't like it when people TOT too much after dark. I will give out candy all the way until midnight, but at midnight I go for my Halloween Motorcycle ride, IF it's not raining.

I do plan to have all of my monster classics and plenty of "Dark Shadows" eps ready to go for most of the day.

We never have Trick-or-Treating here in the evening. The one exception was last year, because it rained on the day it was originally planned. We always have it the Saturday before Halloween (or this year probably on Halloween) from noon to around 2 PM. I live in southwestern PA for the record.

[Killing is my bussiness..]

I hope it's a good year ! I usualy get kids right after school lets out. It being a Saturday this year should work well. Hope the warm weather holds out......
