Halloween is today. We gave out full size candy again this year much to the delight of all the trick or treaters.

Once again, I set up my timelapse photography gear and made video of the door from 6:15PM to 9:15PM as I sat there handing out candy. We had some friends stop by during the evening I had help with logging costumes and handing out candy.

As I have in 2005, 2006,and 2007 I asked every person what they were dressed as and wrote down the answers.

Here are the top ten costumes for the last four years compared.
