Did anyone ever try to scare you on Halloween when you were a kid? I remember one time in particular when I was roughly 8 my brother and I rang

a neighbor's doorbell and instantly the man ran down the hall toward us hollering very loud wearing a hideous mask. He opened the door and lunged at us scaring the crap out of us. We ran back to Dad crying and hysterical. Dad was talking to a man who was also taking his kids trick or treating. Neither of them really saw what the man did. (There were other kids on the porch with us). A woman appeared at the door saying, "did we scare y'all? I told him not to do that." People sometimes tried to scare kids on Halloween when I was growing up. Now if someone did that they'd probably go to jail. Totally different generation

My Dad always went to the door with us and most likely would have throat punched him.

@NativePortlander1970 Being scary was considered part of the fun
@Cloud7593 Jump scaring like that can be traumatizing to a young child, it is cruel.
