I loved it back in Canada, cause it was the norm. Streets were full of kids and adults. 90% of houses were decorated and people got into the spirit of it.
Here it seems to forced and unnatural. Which is why we hand out caramel covered onions to all the trick or treaters.
Let's not forget the whole "I'll post my address online so I can lure your children in for the promise of a candy bar". Yikes.
My go to is little packets of wasabi peas. Perfectly wholesome - even healthy. Don't often see the same faces twice though. Heh heh.
Love your work
