I've seen some, but it is generally very quiet out there.

I think about Halloweens past.

The Charley Brown special came out when I was about 5 years old, and I watched it every season.

Streets were full of kids back then. It was like a big, moving outdoor block party on every block.

My last Halloween trick or treat at 12 years old was a well planned fast strike operation. My friend and I had a route picked out through all the best candy neighborhoods and we ran through the night like a couple of bats out of hell, cutting across lawns and leaping over bushes and fences.

My next Halloween was memorable sad. At 13, my friend started attending teenage Halloween parties, but I was never welcome at social events. A kid I barely knew at school said he had no plans for trick or treating, so I agreed to join him in exploring the night. I called him before I left home, and he said to come on over. When I got to his house, it was dark and no one was home. The whole street was quiet and empty, and I was walking away confused when I was ambushed by armed and masked thugs. I fought them off and they ran off crying, but I couldn't think of what to do next.

Halloween had taken an altogether different turn. When I saw the guy in school the next day, I told him I was baffled not to find him at home. He looked scared and ran away from me. I didn't even mention the ambush to him.

Fun memories.
