| Close curtains and lights out 5:30 pm. |

Agreed! Our local police and fire stations give treats at 5, so we’d start then and finish at 7. Better for winding down and not pitch black outside yet. |

| Our kids come in around nine, so we turn off the light a little after that. |

Pitch black is when it gets fun. |

| Kids around here start right after school at 3:30 and will go until 10. It’s a bit much. Candy is gone by 5, yet kids come clamoring onto the porch banging on doors and ringing the doorbell. Lights will be off as soon as it is dark. Plus, one of our family members has a Halloween birthday. Enjoy handing out candy but it seems most kids and parents feel entitled and it sucks the fun out of it. |

I assume these posters are against fun. |

Where is this? The midwest? Trick or treating in the DC area starts at dark (@ 6 pm). |

Why are you on this board if you don't have young kids |

I was about to post 10 or 10:30 and realized how my answers have changed over the years. When my kids were little it would have been 8:30 or so. This year it’s a Friday night. My oldest is an 18 yo senior. Maybe he’s home, likely he will be out and I’m up anyway at that time. I don’t care if the lights are on for any older teens still out trying to get candy. No one is sleeping in my house at 10 or 10:30 on. Fri night. |

Its lights out on our street by 7 pm. It's a gray street mostly, kids are grown, now we all babysit our grandkids.
