Post-Hallowe'en Mystery 2011

[dewline]

Seems like some neighbourhoods across North American experienced a spike in Hallowe'en trick-or-treat traffic last night, and others just dropped like stones into ponds. Mine, anecdotally, dropped by about half its level of last year.

There's something going on here that I don't think sociopathic pranksters or economic climate trends alone - or together - can fully explain.

Am I right or wrong?

More on other topics later today and tonight...

We got about 50% more trick-or-treaters than usual last night. I was surprised given that it was a Monday and lots of kids go to festivities at the mall on weekday nights. But then the weather was great yesterday too. So maybe that's responsible?

I'm wondering about age-related demographics as an additional factor.
