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

Seems super late to me

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.

Anonymous wrote: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.

Not the 3:30 part but yes, exacto

it should be when it gets dark

Why?

Start at 5, be done by 7. Done.

Nobody trick or treats at 5 pm. How bizarre.

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

8pm but there aren't a lot of kids in our neighborhood.

When we run out of candy or when its starts to be older teens without costumes running from other neighborhoods.

9pm

9 because we enjoy seeing as many neighbors as possible.

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.

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

Pitch black is when it gets fun.

I assume these posters are against fun.

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

Close curtains and lights out 5:30 pm.
