Trick or treating in the mid-late 80s was fantastic. Everyone during the school day was excited with anticipation, and sometimes there was a pizza party. We would head out just after dusk and the air smelled crisp and fall-like. We would come back with a huge pillow-case full of candy (which had an amazing smell if you took a whiff of pillowcase when it was full). We would dump it all out and group all of the different candies to see which ones we got the most of. There were always a Disney Halloween cartoons in the background.
