Remember when people were trying to get Halloween moved to a Saturday permanently? Well, this year, it's a Saturday. So when will the trick or treaters be out?

There was a huge debate. Many parents were saying that Halloween should always be on a Saturday so that kids could really enjoy the holiday without having to worry about getting up the next day to go to school. People who were against it were concerned that it would have trick or treaters coming to their door at all hours of the day.

Well, this year could have been a good example of what would happen with a Saturday Halloween.

Then COVID-19 happened...trick or treating is going to look different this year.

Many towns have said that it will be too risky to go out trick or treating, while others have laid out precautions that trick or treaters should take, but still allocated hours for the little ones to gather as much candy as they could.
