Here they come! With their parents and/or nannies in tow!
They arrived in vans, cars and even golfcarts. There aren't
as many of them as last year because we've tightened the
security measures — not just because of threats of domestic
terrorism but we had some troublemakers wreaking some
havoc last year.

Just one treat each! These are hard times, y'know...
not just hard-candy times!

...storming our gates! One even had a battle-axe!

... or should I say "Grrrr-goyle"? Coco's waiting for
the trick-or-treaters to come knocking at the gate.

We're a "Madder and Devil-Dogter" team! Mwahahaaaaa...

I'm armed and ready with candies for the costumed
trick-or-treaters this Halloween...

as Snoopy would say

Coco is very disappointed to learn that the candies
are only for human, not canine, consumption.

This is what I really enjoyed this Halloween weekend —
a marathon showing of the Haha-halloween Specials
episodes from all the seasons of "The Simpsons"!!!
It was a gruesomely good time!!!

Is this supposed to be scary? Only if you're a rabid fashionista,
I guess! They look more like a window display for a low-cost
department store than scary Halloween decor!
