Normally our street is full of kids for Halloween. Tons of kids come by, going door-to-door for candy, cute as heck in their costumes and having a ball.
Our kids decided to convert Abby's car into a Trunk 'N' Treat special at the bottom of the driveway, complete with decorations, flashing lights and a ton of candy ready to be disbursed.
We setup a warming station for adults at the top of the Driveway of Doom™ with a fire-pit lit, hot dogs ready to go, and some bourbon to let parents keep their steam uop walking around the neighborhood. We had a friend came by and she and Tash spent tiome catching up on things.
From 6pm-8pm all of 4 kids showed up. Normally there's that many by 6:01 pm.
Helluva ruined Halloween from parents being made to be fearful of their own shadows and running scared of having their kids spaced out outdoors to have fun and get candy.
Quite disappointing all around and rather sad.

That's a shame. We had 25 or 30 come by, about "normal", for certain values of "normal", for our neighborhood. The parents were masked but the kid's weren't, and we had a big bowl of candy on the front porch, with "Frankenstein" LED lights that buzzed and crackled, and the kids loved it.
Son, DIL, and grandson come over every year, and this year they took him around the neighborhood as he's old enough now to get in to it.
