My son got about 6lbs of mixed candy out begging so yes there are some neighborhoods in my area that pass out for beggars night.
 
There is a neighborhood in the area that lines the street and has many halloween parties along the street (Brandon made out great there)
 
Last year we only had 21 visitors and we had the whole place decked out with carved pumpkins and fog machines and strobe lights.  This year we went out the whole night instead.
