Soap and corn where I come from... them thar hills. Soaping windows of cars parked on the street, and spending the afternoon hours shucking dried corn from someone's corn crib to throw by the handfuls at drivers from some remote hillside after dark. The fun was when they stopped and got out to chase us. |

I'm from rural Penn., but Detroit is the Mecca of Devil's Nights.
Check out the Wiki on it here:

Not much happens around my neck of the woods. Some TP, few eggs. I was one of them punks when I was a youngster, and even we did very little mischief on Halloween. Too many potential witnesses walking about
Long summer nights, however, were a very different story  |

| Egging and TPing are common on the east coast of Canada (Nova Scotia anyway). Also pumpkin smashing and burning and the occasional overzealous rock through a window. One year in my hometown there was this pickup driving around on Halloween night with a bunch of costumed hicks in the back throwing rotten apples at everyone. Small town boredom. |

I've seen eggs splattered around my neighborhoods back the day after Halloween.
It's hard to clean off  |

| On devil's night, the guys in rural Ontario roll burning bales of hay off the back of moving pick up trucks. |

Take a razor to candy bags and get free goods, mustard ballons. burn poop on porches, hit on woman (I tricked or treated til I was 19), generally be an ass. All good.  |

Ah yes... we have that too. Mainly because the next day, all the kids (and teens) rather go trick or treating . |
