At least they’ll be wearing masks.
A study released Monday reveals 25 percent of U.S. residents plan on going trick-or-treating this year — regardless of whether it’s been called off due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, whether they end up with any candy is anyone’s guess. In a separate survey, only 35 percent of Americans said they plan on buying Halloween candy to hand out.
Trick-or-treat…or-not.

The news comes as several major cities grapple with the decision over whether they should allow trick-or-treating on Halloween. Such cities as West Chicago and Springfield, Massachusetts have already canceled the annual tradition, while Los Angeles has strongly urged residents to skip trick-or-treating.
