How Many Kids Last Night?

Only fifteen came to our house, compared with eighteen last year, and over one hundred twenty years ago. Fortunately, I bought a lot of candy that I like. 
How many did you get?

I don’t live in a subdivision and our goblins have been getting fewer and fewer over the years, although I prepare just Incase.
Had only one knock on my door and I got excited, it turned out to be a man and a woman needing a jump for their car! Oh well, lol, I don’t get many Trick or Treaters but this couple was real appreciative

We had over twenty-five children and many adult family members out walkin with the kids. Our neighborhood was a glow with ghouls and goblins. Best Halloween since my kids were little. All-in-all a very festive night.

ZERO, but it was raining, some lightning and lots of wind. Maybe they’ll come tonight!😀

I live in a townhouse complex, so parents drive their kids over where they feel it's safer than the streets. The weather was pretty crummy, but it did clear up for a couple of hours, and we got about 20 kids.

Zero, we had put out a bowl with candy in it with a sign, "Happy Halloween! Take some!" No one was home for 2 hours. When my son and I came back from our trick-or-treating, he got the benefit of no trick-or-treaters showing up!

long answer:
we're way out in the weeds and have never done 'trick or treat,' except a few times when the elementary school had a sort - of party and all the grownups threw their candy in a pile and the kids went through it to pick out what they wanted. This rather misses the point, I think, and my kids didn't really go for it. Now they're grown and not yet moved out (still have their stuff in my basement).
short answer:
none

Trick-or-treating was different this year, even though it was unseasonably warm, (62 degrees) there was a slight drizzle. No one at all came to our house, as we are on a main road with few houses close together. We went out to a nearby development, where my son, dressed as the Grim Reaper, gave an 85-year-old man a start, and he remarked, "It is not a good idea to show up at my house dressed as The Grim Reaper."
At the end of our evening, a blast of wind and an accompanying deluge had us drenched and running for the car. In the morning, it was 38 degrees, still windy, branches down, and most of the leaves off the trees.

Mr. SONY
Loc: LI, NY
We live in a 55 and older place.
A few grandchildren. The rest outsiders.
Less than 25 kids all day and evening.
After what I suspected was going to be the last kids,
as they walked away I ran after them with hands full of candy for them to take.
They were pleased.
Don't need all that candy sitting around for us to eat.

We had about 40 all told. from 5:30 till about 8:30. It rained most of the day but stopped by the time they started. It was a lot colder and windy though...Yeah, plenty of candy leftover. My wife took it to her work today after I took out some that I like....
