I remember thinking it was very disturbing and sinister. Halloween is finally starting to creep into Australian culture (Huzzah!), but back then there was no Halloween here at all. Stories like that probably didn't help the cause, sadly. <br /><br />Happy Halloween, Dex!

I remember all those fears of razor blades in candy from when I was younger. I didn't personally think about that much - We were all just diving into our candy. :) Still, I was aware of the stories. Do you think those were just urban legends or based on something that actually happened? I was surprised to see that many apples being given in the videos. I think the only non-candy thing I ever got trick-or-treating was a popcorn ball! The idea of kids telling jokes to get treats was a new one for me. Those videos are a snapshot of an earlier time! <br /><br />Have fun however you're celebrating today. :)Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295330224497015785.post-31652837168199914432012-10-31T11:57:05.608-04:002012-10-31T11:57:05.608-04:00I have had more problems sending from the AEIOU gm...I have had more problems sending from the AEIOU gmail account than I don't know what.
