The house, the candy, the kids’ costumes -- you name it -- the trend is bigger and bigger every year.
But in Hamlin, W.Va., where the streets will be wall-to-wall with trick-or-treaters, they've been trying to encourage a little downsizing.

talking about trick or treat I'd rather see littles ones out getting candy then to see these BIG grow up adults out being mean & not caring about anything else if a grow up wants to go out for candy with kids or by their selfs then that's should be ok & if they want to crack down then crack down on drunk drivers & others that loves to things up & hurt others for no reason. it's stupid.
