I know c/fuckcars will be mad to hear this, but Trunk or Treats have taken off for a reason, and I would say are a large reason for Halloween dieoff. Conveniently scheduled to a weekend. (Removes school night problem) During daylight so its both warmer and visibility. (Ending early due to cold or fear of kids getting snatched or bullied for candy). You only really have to decorate your car (decor judgements and TPing people for not decorating) or the venue will have cars of approved people (removes chance of abduction or assault). It removes long walks parents may dislike - and the childhood stigma of shitty/good neighborhoods. AND kids like it because you can go to multiple through the month rather than just ONE night.
