Last year, and pretty much the two years before that, Halloween night saw an absence of observance. No costumes. No trick-or-treaters. No bags of candy except for ones you bought yourself. I've stopped dressing up a long time ago, mostly cause I don't have the talent nor a budget set aside to make a good costume, but I still love seeing the younger generation having fun with it. How long is this "not-Halloween" going to last? Have you seen a lot of inactivity at your towns too, or could this be more of a localized issue?

No trick-or-treaters here, and if there are, then they don't come to my house.

Curious, does your 'town' have a porch light on to indicate T&T is welcome thing?
{I remember these becoming popular sometime in the 70s}

Here it's slowly growing, even though a lot of people hate it and talk about it in public.
There are a lot of stores and mentions, but it's not fully accepted. "Tricks" always end in drama.
Asking someone if they celebrate it is a difficult topic.

My area has a lot of trick-or-treaters, it's easy to collect candy in blocks. It can be worse in places with bigger distances between people.
It's not dying, just not fully grown-up

The Halloween of my youth – where half a dozen of us stashed costumes and sacks at whichever house was nearest school, then spent near 6 hours on a carefully planned (to avoid any backtracking) free candy collection spree – seem to have died sometime late last century…

Too much chance of a random whacko (even in complaratively small cities and the 'burbs).
Limited trick-or-treating (usually daylight only and with an adult proctor at the end of the block) lingered for several more years. [By about 5, none of the family's youngsters would tolerate a parent etc. going house to house with them…. (Ya raise 'em to think and be independent & take the consequences 👍.)]

The covid craziness just drove the final nail in the coffin.

(I do know some people who live in small towns [<5K] where the tradition lives on, but even in such places there seems to be a level of heightened caution that prevents the sort of 'rampage' with which I grew up.)

For adults, the gorvernment covid response (at least in areas with enforced anti-private gathering rules) imposed a gap.
The thriving economy of the last three years isn't doing anything to restore the situation either.

I just remember hearing Homer say it on a video game. It was either Road Rage and/or Hit and Run. Never played the games as I didn't have them growing up, but I watched some playthroughs.

Or, it might've been a line in the show used in one or more games so the actors don't have to do as much recording.
