Put me in the "Love it" camp. One of my favorite days to have some fun.
I love getting crazy creative on my costume and every year look to top the one before.
Going as a "Box of Manneqiuns" this year. Building the classic 'carry illusion' costume, but instead of me just sitting in the box, I got a white morph suit and ordered a bunch of spare Mannequin parts on ebay to put in the box with me...legs and arms and heads all sticking out. I'll be in the box as a "mannequin" in the morph suit holding still until someone comes up to me and then I'll move, or grab them or what ever.
this was last year...

THat said, I hate that it is on a weeknight most years. I would love to see it moved to the last Saturday in Oct.
People spend all this money on the kids costume and once they are done with school and parents home from work, they don't get much daylight time to TnT. If they moved it to a Sat, kids could roam all day long and the parents can party at night.
