there was a definitely brief period of time in the late 80s where the now-dead malls were trick or treat sites. like there was some shit at the food court for parents to hang out and eat while the kids went from store to store where the workers gave out candy. i remember doing it one year as a little kid in florida, because there was a west nile outbreak concern. in later years, they just let us out from school early so we could trick or treat in daylight before it got buggy out.
