It's changed since I was little. We used to swarm all over the neighborhood, and no house could get through the evening with fewer than three giant bags of Fun-Size Snickers. Sadly, American parents have been brainwashed into thinking that any child left unattended for three minutes will be abducted, raped, and left to die in a boxcar at the fairgrounds. Kids are taken to shopping malls to trick-or-treat, where they are given sugarless candy and plastic bookmarks. *weepz*
