Trick or treaters mainly.
I really don't understand why on one day of the year parents see it fit to let their kids essentially go 'begging' to strangers houses.

it is an odd tradition
i think it's a bastardisation of letting kids be 'little devils' for one night, but yes, the UK version is a rather desultory affair, round our way it's usually very little kids being dragged round by their parents
having said that, the really little kids look very cute

A neighbour came to our house with her very spotty 4 year old son who was dressed as a pig with a trident.
She said he did not want to miss the event even though he had chicken pox.

It's not begging
It's demanding money with menaces. Much bigger crime.

give em sweets
then when they look disappointed shout "FUCK OFF THEN", making sure to liberally spray child and parent with spittle, and slam the door in their face

They're lucky if they get sweets some of 'em.
It's when they're bigger than me that I get worried...

I don't even answer the door. Little fuckers don't even dress up at all where I live
They just put their hood up or something.

I just sing back at 'em
better than they are singing at me.
If the family's round, we can do full-on four part harmony at 'em.

Years of practice
singing in a choir that does carol "services" and gets paid with a slap-up meal and as much booze as you can drink, and then have to sing "Ding Dong Merrily On High" while as drunk as a skunk. Marvellous.
Not done that for a couple of years, though. I now need to look at the words to remember them. Still got the harmonies in my head, though.
