Was Halloween Better When We Were Kids? | Halloween Nostalgia & Fall Traditions

Send us Fan Mail Was Halloween actually better when we were kids? Keny and Lou revisit old-school Halloween traditions—from door-to-door trick-or-treating and homemade costumes to neighborhood pranks, haunted attractions, and streets filled with decorated houses. In this nostalgic fall episode of CC & NJ Guy, the guys debate whether trunk-or-treat events and shopping-center celebrations have made Halloween safer while taking away some of the mystery, freedom, and excitement that once made the holiday unforgettable. In this episode: • Old-school trick-or-treating versus modern trunk-or-treating • The Halloween traditions that have slowly disappeared • Homemade costumes, neighborhood pranks, and haunted trails • Why autumn in the Northeast feels different • Apple picking, Thanksgiving, and favorite fall memories • The Wizard of Oz experience at the Las Vegas Sphere • Future RV trips and the dream of exploring America after retirement Tom is home under the weather, but that doesn’t stop Keny and Lou from pulling him into the conversation anyway. Was Halloween genuinely better back then—or are we all looking at it through nostalgia-colored glasses?
