The chief event in modern US-style Halloween the best known is trick-or- treating. This is the event where children dress up in costume disguises and visit door-to-door in their near neighborhood, ringing every doorbell and yelling "trick or treat!" This actually resembles the older tradition of guising in Scotland and Ireland. The ceremony begging on Halloween did not in fact appear in English language until 20th century, and it was developed independently later.

The occupants of the house (who may dress them selves in a scary Halloween costumes) would then hand out small candies, small chocolate bars, and sometimes even soda pop. Some American homes would use sound effects and vapor machines to assist set a spooky mood. Other house decoration themes (prepare themselves in less scary costume) are used to entertain young visitor. Children could often accumulate many treats on Halloween night, filling up their pillow and shopping bags.

In England as well trick or treating takes place, mainly in working class neighborhoods. In general, however, it is moped upon as at most excellent an annoyance and at worst a threatening form of begging. In some of the areas households have started putting decorations on the entrance door to state 'trick-or-treaters' are welcome, the thought being that 'trick-or-treaters' should not approach a house, which is not 'participating'. Tricks play less of a role in current Halloween, although Halloween night is frequently marked by damage such as soaping windows, egging houses or other stringing toilet paper throughout trees. Before indoor testing was so widespread, tipping over or relocating outhouses was a well-liked form of intimidation. Casting flour into the faces of terror neighbors was as well done once upon a time.

Typical Halloween costumes have conventionally been monsters such as vampires, ghosts, witches, and other devils. In the most recent years, it has become very common for Halloween costumes to be based on themes other than conventional horror, such as dressing up as a personality from a TV show or any movie, or selecting a familiar face from the public sphere, such as a politician (in 2004, for example, George W. Bush or John Kerry were both well-liked costumes in America). In 2001, after the September 11 attacks, for instance, costumes of, firefighters, police officers, or any United States military personnel became accepted. In 2004, a predicted 2.15 million children in the United States were agreed to dress up as Spider-Man, the year's most popular Halloween costume.
