As the most frightful night of the year dawns upon us, the ‘trickers’ and the ‘treaters’  get their goody bags ready in hunt for some treats for them and their friends to savour. But it just isn’t like that anymore, is it?

 

Many of these ‘trouble makers’ search the location in order to disturb local residents. Whether it be throwing eggs at their house or generally mocking the area they live in. Many residents find Halloween a hassle to cope with.

 

Halloween nowadays turns into the most troublesome night of the year let alone the scariest. Reportedly ruining what was meant to be the most frightful night of the year. Halloween is about having fun and sharing within the community but in my eyes, disturbing the community with whatever these trouble makers have in store is just wrong.

 

Some residents may be scared into putting up Halloween decorations as these trouble makers may find it the ideal area to have what they call ‘fun’. Does this mean that less and less people enjoy the night of Halloween?  Could the most frightful night of the year turn into a night of chaos and disruption? All will be unfolded by tonight...

 

I myself advise everyone who wants to participate in trick or treating to stay with an adult or in a big group of friends due to the fact that there are some people who could be considered dangerous out there.

 

Never the less, I hope everyone has a happy Halloween and most of all, a spooky and frightful night!
