If you’re wondering where to take the kiddies trick-or-treating, and you have access to a car, try Hampstead. The neighborhood goes nuts with competing Halloween decorations. Last time we went there, there was a fully decked out haunted house, another that had mounted a movie screen and was showing Michael Jackson’s Thriller video 20 feet high… you get the idea.

I’m told that folks in Hampstead spend as much as $1,000 on candy for the night, because it’s such a popular venue. On y va!
