The goal of the victims are to scare the neighbours off their property from knocking/ringing at their doors. You put up the psychological show so to make up your environments and yourselves look bigger and meaner for some, and for others smaller and friendly. The kids do still come at your doors taxing your livelihoods, while their parents shy away at a distance bitter they sent their kids and not themselves; they would have asked for your cakes, cars, couches, ovens, computers, radios, and TVs. Finally you give up, so every year you think of destroying pumpkins by carving them into mocking grins and lay them on your porches as so to say; “Fuck us,” who aren’t getting these.
