If you’re going trick or treating, be safe and don’t accept any apples. Also, if you’re trick or treating in Vancouver and you receive a chocolate bar, you may want to make sure there’s really a chocolate bar inside. When I used to hand out candy bars a long time ago, I would unwrap the Kit Kat bar, remove the Kit Kat and replace it with a note that read, “The Tricks On You Sucker!” and then wrap it back up again. I could just picture the looks on the poor kids’ faces as they open their Kit Kat to find no treat. Pure evil, I was. 
I’m off to the Radio Shack (call The Source here) to get some supplies to build the pumpkin you see in the video below. That should be great to scare the living daylights out of the kids coming to my house. Hopefully, they won’t figure out who gave them the empty Kit Kat.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress.

Happy Halloween from problogineer too..
The evil is out
lol – funny… the kids get enough treats anyway!
lol, so true. Who needs candy when your getting the crap scared out of you anyways??? Awesome looking pumpkin John, you gotta take a video of yours and show it to us.
Pure evil indeed! I bet this is John’s favorite holiday!
I can’t believe how evil Chow is to little kids!
I can imagine that John, I must say very evil of you!
I don’t know, but everytime I hear that sound, I can’t help myself laughing.
just back from my college Halloween party.. hope everyone are having great fun like I do.. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Happy Halloween John!
I just sent out a “chain letter” form of a post via email in form of a Halloween prank.
LOL, the scariest thing I found was Saw 5′s trailer and I emailed its link to all!
Very funny! Save $$$ too, scare them away before you have to give them candy .. really evil ..
hahaha I remember halloween days, they were the best when i was young
Happy Halloween!!
I agree – now the holiday is not as celebrated in my town the way it once was. too bad with layoffs everywhere – this Halloween will not be like the good old cavity days!
Happy Halloween guys with a lot
of fun.
My advice
Have fun in your life because life is beautiful
and unfortunately short.
Mario
that is so true!
lovin life
Happy Halloween John
That horn is just loud, guaranteed to scare some kids. I hope you get a chance to capture some footage of your pumpkin in action.
That is a great pumpkin. I thought the red button would blow it up hahaha.
I’m shocked that you used to wrap the Kit Kat bar with a note..John Chow, I expected better man..Just look all those kids out there.. I’m sure money isn’t a issue right?
I was 15 years old at the time!
15 years old evil
They had Kit Kat when you were 15?!?! I kid, I kid…
Empty candy bars is totally amateur. If you are really evil you fill them with trash and save a trash bag and get the house cleaned at the same time!
Happy Halloween people
John, I’m glad I never came to your house when I use to trick or treat. I would have been upset!!!! Be safe everyone and enjoy Halloween!!!!!
If only you could make that horn an actual bull horn, and scare the living crap out of everyone. Happy Halloween John!
“I could just picture the looks on the poor kids’ facees as they open their Kit Kat to find no treat. Pure evil, I was. ” You are evil….. Happy Halloween

John! I am so offended that you use the word Halloween! Please use Orange and Black Day when referring to the Oct 31 celebrations from now on.

No Kit Kats for kiddies, you are evil.
Fake candy, that sounds so evil, for a second I thought you were going to say check the chocolate before eating because you don’t know if it’ll have some poison in it or something, only to click the link and see you’re talking about pulling a bait and switch on kids. Classic. lol
Harry
Eh, you’re just saving the parents on dental bills anyhow…they should thank you
Happy Halloween John!
Nice Pumpkins! The horn is scary…
Happy Halloween to everyone
Happy Halloween guys!
Yeah… Happy Belated Halloween! Trick or treat!
The Kit-Kat idea is evil!
Man you are truely evil. I hope everyone had a great time last night.
sweet pumpkin!
it really saddens me that here in nyc halloween is also gang initiation day, where wannabe members of The Bloods run around slashing people in order to prove that they are bad enough to join up. when i was a kid, it didn’t get much worse than egg-throwing or paintballs.
here’s to better, less violent days.
i hope you all had a happy halloween. greats from germany
John Chow truly is of the Dark Side. What did he do with all that unwrapped chocolate?
Same to you Mr. Chow!
Happy halloween to everyone and john , and trick or treating from everyone.
So that was YOU I kept getting the empty kit kats from every year!! Bastard.
Just kidding but that is pure evil. You probably ruined some kids Halloweens.
same to you john and every one here
!
hehe
sorry late 
but Happy Late Halloween! 
Ooooh, I like that kit kat idea…….next year……
A belated Happy Halloween to you all.
Hey John, did you dress up for Halloween?
I made a HALO Master Chief costume out of paper and fiberglass last year. It cost me over $300 to make so I’ll be using it for a couple more years…hehe
You will rot in dot.com hell John for all those wrongdoings. Happy Halloween!
Don’t know why, but every single time I hear that sound, I can’t help myself laughing.
same to you johnchow
