“Trick or Treat!”
The original concept of “trick or treat” was that, if you didn’t give the wandering bands of children a treat, they might well play a trick on you -and not necessarily a nice one.
and so, on mischief night or Halloween itself, there were egged cars, soaped windows and trees that bore a bumper crop of toilet paper (to give just a few examples….)
This is a concept that you can bring into your writing, to make it more interesting or exciting.
