One year we made a “shell” for a radio controlled car – it looked sort of like a cross between a rat, a possum, and a vampire. On Halloween we would hide it in the bushes next to the street and wait for those older trick-or-treaters to come by… those that were in their teens.
When the beast from heck leapt out of a dark bush and screamed around their ankles they demonstrated what they were really made of… Without exception they screamed like little girls and jumped about eight feet straight up.
My kids liked doing this MUCH more than walking around begging for candy.
The rules were you couldn’t launch The Rat at little kids or moms. Dads were fair game unless they had little kids right with them. We used that car for years.
