I'm one of the few out there who've already decorated for Halloween. Does that make me crazy? No, just a phanatic. This is one holiday I can't get enough of. Who doesn't like scary movies and free candy? Of course, I'm too old to trick-or-treat nowadays but don't think that won't stop me from stealing a kid off the street, dressing him in a new costume, and making him double up on houses. I've seen this tactic done in TV but never thought anyone would have the guts to attempt this trick in reality, up until last year. Kids these days...
TRICKS AND SCHEMES--Scheming is the third best part of Halloween.
Firstly, always gotta make sure you've mapped out the best route. Hills slow you down, Cold-a-sacs and dead-ends force you to backtrack, and the distance between houses should be minimal. But also, you've got to be mindful of the house size. The wealthier the neighborhood, the larger the candybar (generally speaking). The fun size really doesn't cut it these days.
Secondly, the costume plays a large role in the scheme of halloween. Creating the best costume to make your suppliers notice you in the crowd of other trick-or-treaters is how you will profit you in the end. I'll give you a tip: the cuter the costume the better quality of candy you'll recieve, and if you're lucky, an extra piece. So, draw some freckles on your face, bat those eyelashes, and with a sappy costume you might just win the jackpot.
Thirdly, you'll want to make sure you've brought something large enough to collect with. Don't waste your time with one of those silly jack-o-lantern buckets when you can bust out a pillowcase. This holds 10 times the candy and saves you 2 trips back home. Go BIG or Go HOME. Better work on those biceps.
Happy Halloween!
