We give out every year. Our house is the "Cool" house on the block. We have a large display with spider webs hanging from the roof, spooky music playing, strobe lights and smoke from a smoke machine. Some of the smaller kids won't come up the drive so we go to them. Heck, even some teenagers won't come up the driveway. Also, we are decked out in our costumes, my wife a witch and myself a monster. Standing behind the strobe light, the kids don't see me until I pop out, scares the heck out of the teenagers.
Also, back to the thread, yes we sit outside.
