It really depends on the area you live in. Some areas are still awesome about Hallow's Eve, while some others have become lethargic. You also have to take into account that all the kids back then grew up to be our age and either moved elsewhere or don't have kids of their own.

So over the years, the amount of kids in a given neighborhood shrink more and more.

I know a friend of mine in the east coast just had a blast going trick or treating. So yeah, it really depends where you live.
