A lot of folks have expressed the idea that the magic of Halloween is dying. There is a lot of blame being placed on the existance of trunk or treats stealing away the trick or treaters.
I think there are many things at play. I have never participated in a trunk or treat, but I know that community organization is vital to making them work. They require sign up sheets and locations and times to be picked and then promoted so that everyone is on the same page. There are safety measures at hand so that everyone can access the event and feel safe - especially in the scary world we live in, now.
There is a sense of community because it is a community.
How many neighborhoods are a community anymore? How much communication goes on? Planning? Have you even discussed with your neighbors what you can do to make your neighborhood known and accessible and inviting to trick or treaters and parents?
Last year before I moved, we got our neighborhood designated as the trick or treating spot in town (something that they had done before I lived there with great success and then they stopped organizing it, but in previous years they hauled out lighting, gave out cocoa and did hay rides in the back of someone's trailer). It was a guarantee that kids had a safe area to go that they would be welcomed with candy and Halloween spirit. We had so many people thank us for doing so.
There are a lot of grumpy grumps and anti-Halloween bible thumpers (I have more thoughts on these in particular in relation to the dying/killing of a culture that I may make another post about) in the world that people are afraid of accidentally crossing. That's not gonna happen at a trunk or treat. And I believe that with the right organization, we can make neighborhoods more welcoming and largely avoid this there as well.
So if you want to keep the Halloween spirit alive, I urge you to participate in your community. Go to town halls. Talk to your neighbors. Express your concerns and your ideas THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. Build that trust, and those friendships so that when it comes time to organize BEFORE October, that part of the work will already be done.
If a culture or tradition is dying, it is up to those who celebrate it to do the work to save it.

Current Progress on the Bone Demon
One of the wings
Wings attached and auxiliary scapulae over them. Demon anatomy is complicated.
Arms and chest reattached. Did a lot of fill work on the screw holes. Yes, I spent my friday night screwing demon ass, how else could I attach the tail?

Cosmetic Ideas i Had
I know it isn't halloween yet but i have thought of 2 TF2 cosmetic ideas which i got the idea from people's art and i'm also surprised these haven't been made yet.
The first one is for engineer and it's a bee costume, his helmet can have antenna on it, he can wear a jumper that is black and yellow stripes with wings on the back kinda like his fly costume and he can have a dome on his butt with a stinger coming out of it, also for team colour, the red engie yellow is the same colour as his helmet while the blue has his the same colour as his helmet.
the second cosmetic i thought of is a wolf costume for soldier which he made himself, the ears are cardboard cutouts which he stuck to his helmet, he has a tail which he stuck on his belt and it has a jigglebone so it swishes when he walks and a mussle that goes over his mouth and nose which had fangs coming out the bottom of the mouth, also the red soldier's costume is a light brown in colour while the blu soldier's is a dark brown in colour.
That's all but if i think of anymore, i will make another post about it 😁
