Trick-or-treating is the act of going door to door, in costume, for candy. It is important to do so safely so that no accidents occur. Parents should always accompany young children around town for trick-or-treating. For a long list of tips on trick-or-treating on Halloween night, visit Yankee Halloween and About. For example, everyone should carry a flashlight and wear a piece of reflective clothing or item on their body. Homeowners should make sure their paths are clear, free of debris and well lit.

Driving on Halloween night is also a concern, as there are children everywhere in the dark. The best tip is to avoid driving altogether, but for some, this is not possible. If you have to drive, drive much slower than the speed limit, especially in neighborhoods and residential areas. Keep your music low so you can hear well, and keep your lights on at all times. However, these are just a few tips--for more, visit Progressive and Blogher to stay a safe driver.

Costumes are the biggest part of the Halloween celebration. However, they must adhere to safety rules, too. Costumes should be flame-resistant, visible, and fit well, which is explained in detail at About and Thrifty Fun. For makeup and accessory tips, Food and Drug Administration and Prevent Blindness offer excellent advice.

Halloween can be a fun and exciting night if both parents and children learn some safety rules first. Have fun bringing home the candy!
