futuredivot 0 #1 October 31, 2010 Email i got today-thought some were good ideas 1.Give away something other than candy. (Toothpicks, golf balls, bags of sand, etc.) 2.Wait behind the door until some people come. When they get near the door, jump out, wearing a costume, and holding a bag, and yell, "Trick or Treat!" Look at them, scratch your head, and act confused. 3.Fill a briefcase with marbles and crackers. Write on it, "Top Secret" in big letters. When trick-or-treaters come, look around suspiciously, say, "It's about time you got here," give them the briefcase, and quickly shut the door. 4.Get about 30 people to wait in your living room. When trick-or-treaters come to the door, say, "Come in." When they do, have everyone yell, "Surprise!!!" Act like it's a surprise party. 5.Get everyone who comes to the door to come in and see if they can figure out what's wrong with your dishwasher. Insist that it makes an unnatural "whirring" sound. 6.After you give them candy, hand the trick-or-treaters a bill. 7.Open the door dressed as a giant fish. Immediately collapse, and don't move or say anything until the trick-or-treaters go away. 8.When you answer the door, hold up one candybar, throw it out into the street, and yell, "Crawl for it!" 9.When you answer the door, look at the trick-or-treaters, act shocked and scared, and start screaming your head off. Slam the door and runaround the house, screaming until they go away. 10.Insist that the trick-or-treaters each do ten push-ups before you give them any candy. 11.Hand out menus to the trick-or-treaters and let them order their candy. Keep asking if anyone wants to see the wine list. 12.Get a catapult. Sit on your porch and catapult pumpkins at anyone who comes within 50 yards of your house. 13.When people come to the door, jump out a nearby window, crashing through the glass, and run as far away from your house as you can. 14.Answer the door dressed as a pilgrim. Stare at the trick-or-treaters for a moment, pretend to be confused, and start flipping through a calendar. 15.Instead of candy, give away colored eggs. If anyone protests, explain that the eggs are the only thing you had left over from Easter. 16.Answer the door dressed as a dentist. Angrily give the trick-or-treaters a two-hour lecture on tooth decay. 17.Answer the door with a mouthful of M & M's and several half-eaten candy bars in your hands. Act surprised, and close the door. Open it again in a few seconds, and insist that you don't have any candy. 18.Hand out cigarettes and bottles of asprin. 19.Put a crown on a pumpkin and put the pumpkin on a throne on your porch. Insist that all of the trick-or-treaters bow before the pumpkin. 20.Dress up like a bunny rabbit. Yell and curse from the moment you open the door, and angrily throw the candy at the trick-or-treaters. Slam the door when you're finished.You are only as strong as the prey you devour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #3 November 1, 2010 move the lawn so that there are small grass clipping everywhere. run the sprinkler so that they are damp. ask the kids to do a trick (trick or treat). the only trick that kids know is a somersault, so they leave with grass clippings stuck to their backs.

ryoder 1,590 #4 November 1, 2010 You missed one: Hide a huge speaker/amplifier behind the bushes of the front porch with the volume turned to the max. Turn out the lights in a bedroom facing the front of the house, then sit there in the dark looking out the window with the microphone which is connected to the amp. Wait until the trick-or-treaters are within a few feet of the amp, then growl into the microphone. Then watch them run for their lives.My roommate and I were ~20 when we did this.

JohnMitchell 16 #5 November 1, 2010 I dressed up like dummy one year and propped myself up against the house. A couple of kids came along and dared each other to touch the scary monster dummy. As soon as one did, I stood up and growled. They ran right past my house over to the neighbor's, screaming all the way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Friends of mine have done this on an occasional basis (they switch back and forth between a real dummy and the husband to keep the kids guessing). Her favorite part is when the kids ask if the (real) guy sitting in the chair is real, she responds, "no, he's just a dummy""There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

BillyVance 35 #7 November 2, 2010 porpoishead set up a pressurized air tank behind a bowl of candy with a switch just inside the front door. When the kids came up and reached for the candy, he flipped the switch and the kids got a blast of air. Scared the fuck out of them.
