Oh yes, I recall... doors shut, lights off and silently hiding untill all the kids were gone again. I always felt so stupid doing that!
Last year I dressed up as a witch, had lots of candy and decorated the front door with a devilish laughing and moving (electronic) witch doll with lit eyes... Soon as the kids rang the doorbell I opened the door, clapped my hands and the witch doll would start her laughing... hahahaha, the looks on those little faces! They loved it and didn't want to leave, just clapping their hands over and over again to hear that laughter...
I don't think we'll see anyone this year, since we're living in the outback now... But instead we'll have a wonderful Samhainparty, just me and my hubby.
