How To Scare Kids on Halloween

This is my favorite:

Step 1: Get a very large box, like one used to pack a dishwasher. Get it earlier in the year if hard to find, collapse it, and store it. Halloween night, hack off the flaps, flip it upside down, and cut a hole in the top just big enough to get your hand through.
Step 2: Get a cheap piece of cloth for a "table cloth," position it over and around the box, and cut a hole in the cloth to match the hole in the box.
Step 3: Get a big light, thin plastic bowl for the candy (remember, you can get all this stuff ahead of time, cheap) and cut a hole in the bottom. Same size as the one in the cloth and box. Just big enough for your wrist and hand.
Step 4: Sit under the box and stick your hand up through the aligned holes on the box and cloth. Have your accomplice place the bowl over your hand. Fill the bowl with candy, enough to cover your hand. Mixed candy is good, because trick-or-treaters, when told to pick what they want, eagerly begin to dig. First kid's hand into the bowl, reach up and grab the arm or wrist.

This is just too much fun for words. Worth the work!
