Halloween Tip #57
Learn a simple "trick" you can perform when prompted. Explain how you have met the requirements of the trick OR treat request, then send them off, poorer in candy but richer in a basic understanding of contractual obligation. #HalloweenHack #HalloweenHacks

Canned oysters are a unique and economical alternative to pricey candy. Distribute on toothpicks (One per customer!) and satisfy the entire block with just a single tin. #HalloweenHack #HalloweenHacks pic.twitter.com/z26mm9kqqE

Halloween Tip #7
Often, turning out the lights and not answering the doorbell will not be enough to convince the more determined of trick-or-treaters. Lie flat on the floor and avoid any movements that may tip them off of your presence.#HalloweenHack #HalloweenHacks

Halloween Tip #19
Pick up fortune cookies and distribute the fortunes for an atypical Halloween treat.
But just the fortunes as extricating them would require you to unseal the wrappers, and no parent is going to let their kid eat unwrapped cookies. #HalloweenHack #HalloweenHacks pic.twitter.com/g7zXS1Wz0j

Halloween Tip #71
Challenge kids to identify a character from a seminal work of horror by a single quote or woodcut. Winners get rewarded; losers go home empty-handed.
Suggestions: Vathek, The Monk, or The Mysteries of Udolpho. #HalloweenHack #HalloweenHacks pic.twitter.com/VssEtejb93

Halloween Tip #44
Answer the door as Dracula. Convince the kids you're the real deal by dressing the part and speaking in fluent Romanian. Prepare an elaborate backstory covering the last seven centuries should they have any follow-up questions.#HalloweenHack #HalloweenHacks pic.twitter.com/jBFMAlucQY
