    Keeping Pumpkins Fresh: Buff on vaseline/petroleum jelly to your pumpkins helps to give them great shine and make them last longer!! Youll get that designer look in no time and keep your pumpkins fresh!!

    Smelly Pumpkins: Before lighting the pumpkins, sprinkle a little cinnamon on the jack o lantern lids, it smells wonderful on your porch and adds to the fun when welcoming your trick or treaters.

    We love to trick or treat on Lincolnwood Drive in San Roque or Storke Ranch in Goleta.

    Storke Ranch is the best! It is safe and so many houses to visit!! You dont have to worry about cars. The kids love it!

    By far, my favorite community to trick or treat is Winchester Commons. Ive known the neighbors for years and feel safe to send my ghoul out.

    our favorite neighborhood to trick or treat is in Buellton off Sycamore and 2nd street by the Elementary school. We usually go when its light outside though since my kids are still pretty young. We get home just as its getting real dark and then the kids hand out candy to the rest of the kids! We get lots of kids. Recommendations would be flashlights and be aware of cars!! Be safe out there

    Our family enjoys trick-or-treating in Concha Loma in Carpinteria. The Carpinteria downtown trick or treating is great too.

    My sister and I get together with our childhood friends and families. We meet up in the old neighborhood on Hope Avenue at our friends house. We have a potluck dinner and cocktails with everyone. Take pictures of the kids all together and then we take the kids trick or treating at Lincolnwood. Its so fun to carry on our trick or treating traditions with the next generation. Lincolnwood is awesome. The houses are decorated to the nines and the treats are fantastic!!

    My familys Halloween traditions start with festive decorations consisting of spiders in glow in the dark webs in the windows, multiple pumpkins and squash of all colors and sizes, Halloween figurines (mummys, bats, ghosts) along with the baking aromas of cinnamon and nutmeg spiced muffins. After dark the spooky movies begin (Paranorman, Frankenweenie, Coraline, Hotel Transylvania) or we settle down for a creepy story read by flashlight. For daytime adventures, it is also a tradition to venture over to Lane Farms to get lost in their corn maze, play in the hay, and go for a hay ride. We also love Larry the donkey! Trick-or-Treating at Calle Real is a safe and fun which is why we always start there, then end up roaming through the crowds in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood. So much fun, so much sugar!!

    We stay in our Eastside neighborhood, kids know area & old enough to go by themselves; they have flashlights & cellphones. (Not like when we were kids!) We usually stay out for about an hour or so, thats long enough & they like to hand out candy also. I usually make about 100 treat bags & they are gone lights out!

    Our neighborhood on the westside is a great one for trick-or-treaters. We live near the corner of West Micheltorena and Chino Street. The neighbors across from us barbeque burgers and hot dogs in their front yard and hand them out for free! Additionally, there are a couple of houses that set up a haunted house in their front yard for trick-or-treaters and their families to walk through, but watch out because they are seriously scary.

    Today I made a very simple bat costume. It took me 20 minutes to put the entire costume together. I used a pair of old black work pants. I cut out bat shaped wings and safety pinned them onto a black long sleeve shirt. Then I cut out two small triangles for ears and hot glued them onto a black headband. I plan to wear black shorts since its been so warm, but it looks cute with leggings too!
