I live in a neighborhood jammed with kids (I have 2, neighbor across street 4, next door 5) the total for the 18 house street is 43 and 2 households have no kids. We live on a corner lot attached to a large circle (culdesacs extend off the circle all the way around). 650 homes total. Last year over 450 kids came to my house, we give away "glow necklaces" (much different than the "pearl necklaces" Clay gives away). We had 450 and they were all gone by 9 pm last year (one per kid, only kids in costume get them). I see a lot of costumes every year........
Best hands down was two kids last year that came in a pair:
Tall kid was Borack Obama
Short kid was John McCain.
They had the plastic face president masks and were dressed in suits.
I think kid costumes should be cute and still wholesome. There were 12-15 year old girls dressed as hookers.......my girls wouldn't be allowed out in that costume!
My neighbors go way overboard and dress in costume as well as their kids, the wife dressed as Wonder Woman and looked way hotter than Linda Carter ever did!
