Maybe I'm just a scrooge, but I love Halloween but detest the trick-or-treaters.

I think that is really sad.
For us Halloween is a great chance to catch up with the neighbors and interact with the local kids in a way you normally wouldn't get to. Candy isn't gold bullion... I usually spend under $10.00 on candy, and we probably get about 40 or 50 visitors.
Many of our neighbors put up quite elaborate decorations that are fun to see.
