And then there are those jackpot homes. I've found homes that were slightly secluded where the owners would let you take handfuls of candy since barely any kids showed up and they had too much candy left. There were also homes that gave large candy bars and even things like those large nerds candy boxes. Occasional you'd find a home that wasn't sufficiently prepared and they'd just straight up give you a dollar or some fruit.

In Germany, Halloween isn't nearly as insanely over the top like in America, but it's definitely gained in popularity over the years. In the last ~5 years, I've always celebrated Halloween with a group of friends. Each year we'd gather at one of our homes and then do an all nighter lan party. This would usually consist of a ton of multiplayer games and then one main horror game that we'd attempt.
