Usually, for Hallowe'en, hubby-Eric and I opt to rot minds as well as teeth by giving out both candy bars (full-size, of course!) and comic books. Usually we give one of each to each Trick or Treater. This year we have something rather more impressive planned...
This is the loot that the first 23 folks dressed in costume who come to our door will get. Much of the loot was courtesy the registration desk at Anglicon, who got a lot of freebies that they were going to have a seriously hard time getting rid of. So we offered to dispose of the cool stuff, and as a result, costumed kids coming to our place will get quite a treat.
On the left you see the bag we will be giving people. It's a Sky Captain promo bag. With it comes the Sky Captain promo comic and poster book, and a set of Sky Captain promo trading cards. We also got a box of promo baseball caps from The Grudge that look pretty cool, one in each bag. Our usual candy bar is a Nestle Crunch this year. We also purchased the three Hallowe'en giveaway books (which I reviewed here), and one older comic book, usually an Archie or Looney Toon, was added for that unique flavor.
We don't get many Trick or Treaters here. We got 19 last year, and the year before that we went to Eric's parents house to give stuff away instead. We have a back-up plan in case we run low this year, with lots of extra Sky Captain stuff and "the big box o' comics to give out for Halloween" isn't quite empty yet despite our best efforts. We may only have 23 pre-packaged fun packs, but we've got more candy bars and more comics, so nobody should be leaving our place empty-handed.
Full report tomorrow night or Monday morning.
