I can still remember going Trick or Treating without our parents worrying sick about us or what was in the treats.

Those days are long gone!!

Nice to see having kids having fun!

Is your neighborhood going to do Trick-or-treating next Sunday, or Saturday evening?

There’s still a pandemic here in the US. Will kids be trick-or-treating??

Maybe this is not a drill, but how about https://www.gocomics.com/brewsterrockit/2021/10/19 ?

IT’S ALIVE!

The church around the corner is doing a “Trunk or Treat”* Sunday, so I suspect other kids will be out Sunday as well. *Had to look that up.

“Blue cheese stuffed olives”? No one should ever say those words together. Halloween indeed. …shiver

Damp, coarse sponge: brains

Twisted chenille stems: spider

Pretzel sticks: petrified rat tails

Dried apricots: dried-up tongues

Thread: spiderwebs

Cooked, cold spaghetti noodles: worms or veins

Peeled grapes: eyeballs

Dried apple slices: ears

Blanched, peeled tomato: heart

Fake fur: dead animal

Tines of a plastic fork: vampire teeth

Soft flour tortilla: skin (can add a little oil)

Feed corn: teeth

Cornsilk: hair

Baby dill pickles with pistachio shells pushed into the tip: witches’ fingers

Overcooked rice with raisins in cooking oil: rotting maggots and bugs

Small peeled potatoes stuck together with chenille stems: spiders

For Halloween, I would go with the garlic stuffed olives

Not in my neck of the woods. Plenty of kids, but the first year I lived here I put out a pumpkin filled with candy as I couldn’t answer the door due to the dog and cats escaping. Next morning I went to retrieve it and it was completely gone. Pumpkin and all. Nothing will change this year except I’m smarter and don’t bother.

Sounds delicious, though.

What colour are the Public Health quarantine signs?
