Did anyone ever play a Halloween trick on you? No, I would have been the trickster. 

So I have a reverse question for you @Samtian.  Have you every played a Halloween trick on anyone? 👻😉

[Samtian]

@CynthieLu Oh I did and it was horrible! As in I'm a horrible person. My cousin was living with us at the time, I'm in high school or jr high (she's a few years younger.) She slept on the couch. I has this horrible disfigured face mask on. I pretended to make sure the front door was locked, of course I unlocked it. The door opens upright into the front room where she was staying. I snuck to my brothers room and out his window. Came in the front door on all fours breathing very heavy. She actually thought she was going to die. I was a very mean person lol. 20 years later she still remembers it. If you call it a trick, more like a scary prank? 

[CynthieLu]

That's a prank I hope you all can laugh at now. @Samtian I can picture this as something my brother would have tried on me and my sister's.🤣

That's a spooky one. You must be a family legend!

Craziest thing you ever received trick-or-treating:   A can of 7-UP.

The homeowner had forgotten it was Haloween, so he was handing out cans of soda. He had several different kinds to choose from.

[peculiarzmakeup]

Wow that is a wild one, another one is when people just leave the whole bowl out and pretend there not home 😂 @Mel231 

[CorgiMommy]

In my neighborhood it would be hard to forget it is Halloween but a can of soda would be a fun treat 

[CynthieLu]

That's a cute and funny memory @Mel231 I think as a kid getting a full can of soda was such a treat! 😊
