It’s called “Trunk or treat” and at least in my day it was mostly reserved for the super sheltered and horribly abused kids of the most deranged christofascist suburbanites. Usually happened in church parking lots, that way you don’t have to possibly risk your children interacting with the outside world or positive influences.
If you’ve ever taken your child to a trunk or treat you need reeducation
I helped a relative with a daytime trick-or-treat event a few years back, and yeah, all the kids were super skittish while most of their parents were deranged. There was a point where a parent asked me to take off my mask because their kid was terrified to approach our stand - took the mask off, and more kids flipped their shit.
Walked down to the ice cream parlor - wearing the aforementioned mask because it was cold - a few hours later and some lady got really pissy at me for scaring her children.
I went to them as a kid sometimes, but it was never as a replacement for Halloween. It was usually just another event that was kinda like a church or school social. Some of the setups were kinda fun, everyone completed to make the craziest setup, lots of fog machines and spaghetti bowls behind curtains.
i used to live in the mountainous boonies. like you would have to walk down a sketch highway that logging trucks used with a cliff on one side for about half a mile to get to your nearest neighbor. the people in the area would come together at the largest parking lot in the vicinity (the tiny post office + a convenience/supply store, both managed by the same person) and do a trunk or treat for the kids.
people do trick or treat with cars in parking lots now?
that's ridiculously sad

Always saw it as a bonus Halloween
