During Halloween, the neighborhood dynamic can be broken down into a few very distinct groups.

First, you have the excited children who look forward to testing the boundaries of their curfew with their friends in cool costumes (and building their candy stash, of course). Then, if you’re fortunate enough, you may encounter the adults who take great joy in morphing their houses into the premier neighborhood horror spot (while, too, padding their holiday candy collection).

Somewhere in between those two enthusiastic camps exists the fairly apathetic teenager who really just wants the candy, with or without the spooky hijinks.
