I'd happily give treats to children who turn up in the spirit of  
"guising", where they had to *actually perform a trick* to get a  
treat. Sadly, this practice seems to have been replaced by an awful  
Americanised "treat us or we intimidate you" variety. Let's hope the  
poor turn out you experienced is a sign that this is on the wane.

Happy Samhain!
