Trick or treating: love it or loathe it? Please take our super-quick poll - and you could win a prize

As Halloween draws scarily nearer, we want to know what you think of trick or treating.

Do you love the whole spooky-wooky, vampire-fanged sweet-fest?

Or do you loathe every doorstep-begging minute of it and wish it had never made it across the Pond?

Please take a couple of secs to fill in our super-quick survey and we'll enter you into this week's competition to win a spine-tingling two-day family visit to the Halloween Scarefest at Alton Towers.

Not that the nature of the prize should influence the way you vote, mind...

You can find the survey here

All we ever get is the idiot teens, and I find it intimidating. I think I might love it if it was cute little children all dressed up, but not teens in black balaclavas. Seriously eeugh.

I hate it because I live alone and we used to get loads of idiot teens coming round and laughing at me. I had enough of that in secondary school thanks.

However I like daylight Halloween stuff, just not people knocking at the door iyswim.

it originated in Scotland apparently...was taken to America by Scottish immigrants, grotesquely commercialised and then imported back to us!

hate trick or treating, but loved the "guising" I used to do as a wean in Scotland.

Just because I'm in this kind of mood today -
I loathe trick or treating because I loathe halloween so why would I fill in survey to say I hated trick or treating only to be (potentially) 'rewarded' with a prize involving guess what?? Halloween

Awww I did the survey earlier but there was no box for my email address and now it won't let me do it again.

ok the box for your email address should now be there.

And, yes, you can take the poll again, if you want to be in with a chance of winning the prize

ooo - do i need to do it again then?

RedOnHerBeheadedHead · 17/10/2008 17:07

Can't wait!
I do an apple and a couple of sweets wrapped in black tissue for all the lucky trick or treaters that come here - tied with some black wool so that they look a little like bath bombs!

ooo i can't wait!

Can't wait for pumpkin soup either!
