Did you do your part with the "trick"?  :D

There is an etiquette now, (or even back then).  Trick or treat
homes were obvious: decorations, lights on, other kids at the
doors collecting candy, etc.  If a house was dark and no signs
of halloween trick-or-treak spirit, then that house was to be
skipped.

In the country it could even be harder. But then it was who you
knew most of the time.
