No one ever, ever, ever rings our doorbell, so we put out a bowl of candy next to the pumpkins on the stair wall. It all went except for the candy corn, which apparently nobody likes, but they were ninja trick-or-treaters as for various reasons I was outside about every five minutes for large portions of the evening and saw nobody.

Just about everyone I know online claims no trick-or-treaters this year. I'm not sure why as a Saturday Halloween seems to me as though it should be perfect for it.
