Try to turn a kid away without a costume where I live and you either end up with smashed halloween props on a good night, or a knife on a bad night. I've seen kids right up into their late teens show up at 10:30pm and tell us since they'll probably be the last ones there we should give them all the candy we have left. We dont. But it's always a little on the scary side to say no.
Generally though we just scare the kids so bad that they don't mess with us too much. I think most of them think my fangs are real. Or maybe its because about 2 years ago I went to the door with Maddie in a large cooking pot. Can't be sure.
