Let’s assume you don’t remember before you are 5 years old, and you quit after you’re 12. That’s like 8 times you can remember going trick-or-treating your whole life.

You sure are taking this, uh, serious. It’s fun for everyone involved and if you don’t want your doorbell rung, you leave the porch light off. Trick or treating is pretty much dead in a traditional sense, so there’s that too.
Yes, I’m trying to remember what aspects were good such that they might be carried forward or spread. Heaven forbid I attempt to do more than mindlessly engage in nostalgia!
Fine, it wasn’t fun for you. We had a square mile of neighborhood to roam and most houses participated. That’s not mindless nostalgia, that’s how it was in my time and place. We haven’t had a single kid in the past 3 years, so in this time and place the tradition is dead. Well, dead as I knew it.
Oh it was fun. The point is nostalgia is only serious motivation for brainless consumers. Why do you want people to be brainless consumers?
Identify what was actually great about the times, and propagate that instead. Not some copy-paste fairy tale.
