Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Halloween Turnout?

When I was a kid, we all knew which houses to avoid - almost all of them old ladies with a big bowl of popcorn. They'd just dump a handful in your bag, making a big mess. No thanks.

Depends on where you are in CA too. Up the hill a ways from the mess that is civilization (or something like it) turnout was lower than normal, but not non-existent. My boys came back with bags about the same size as usual, but they didn't stay out very late considering it was a Saturday Halloween.

None here in the hood
I figured the kids from the row of section 8's to
the east and the anchor babies to the west
would be out, but if they got out they went to a
party somewhere or something.
The usual mex party with a DJ and mucho
chooting in de aire, and hooting at the end of
each song. Poleece heely- copters and hood
rats doing burnouts and donuts in empty
parking lots and wide intersections.

Typical hell-o-ween for this area

lol

Same for me and my friends, had one old woman that handed out apples and oranges. 🤪👎🏼

Another one sat on her porch with roll of quarters, peel one off for you... guess that wasn’t so bad.

Homemade baked goods were a no-go, crazy cat lady with brownies in baggies.

What the hell? Did every neighborhood have those old ladies? Amazing how they coordinated before the internet.

I had apple lady, and quarter lady, and cookie lady in my neighborhood. There was also hot chocolate lady, who insisted on inviting every visitor in and giving them hot chocolate and a homemade popcorn ball. She was very kind. I always ate the popcorn ball. Others' baked goods got randomly tossed. The apples always ended up involved in some throwing war with other kids.

That's a lot of fuggin' candy!
