October 31st will always be Halloween for me. I loved t-or-t'ing when I was a kid and my own children had a great time every H'ween.

I live in a "big town" and there are many ranches and farms outside of town - like Liz's situation. So while many kids in town still go door to door, the merchants all along our Main Street do a trick-or-treat the Saturday afternoon before Halloween. That way, all the kids can come in from wherever and have the fun of Halloween. Everyone looks like they're having a blast! Still, there's nothing quite like Halloween night after dark.

Interestingly, the "razor blade in the apple" and the "poisoned candy from strangers" stories are urban myths. Completely made up. When all is said and done, kids are most likely as safe on Halloween as they would be on any other night.
