Hello Jay!

Did you do your part with the "trick"?  :D

There is an etiquette now, (or even back then).  Trick or treat  
homes were obvious: decorations, lights on, other kids at the  
doors collecting candy, etc.  If a house was dark and no signs  
of halloween trick-or-treak spirit, then that house was to be  
skipped.

In the country it could even be harder. But then it was who you  
knew most of the time.
