"halloween tips" news and stories

Tonight the kids (and more than a few adults) will be trick or treating, and our friends over at Mahalo have a guide on how to trick or treat safely. It covers everything from what you should do before you even head out the door (make sure you have a flashlight and a cell phone!), where to go (don't go to homes that don't have any lights on), and what do to with the candy when you get home (make sure candy is wrapped, and cut into all apples - I'll go one step further and say don't eat apples at all).

I don't have kids so I don't know how kids trick or treat nowadays. Do they still go all over the place to all houses or just stick to their neighborhood? Or do you take them to a party instead?
