Voted : Open the door dressed as a giant fish. collapse, and don't move or say anything until they've gone
Definitely the giant fish option. It works every time.
One Halloween some years ago, I carved a scary face on a pumpkin, poured ketchup down one side of it and stuck a butcher knife in the side of the head. I then put on some Pink Floyd music and oddly enough none of the kids stopped at my house. Hahaha... more candy for me!
we used to have ghost on a string in the garden. As the trick or treaters approach, have it rise illuminated by a flashlight. I had more than a few kids running off screaming :)

Voted : Give away something other than candy. Cabbages, tea bags etc
Asking kids if they want to 'beat it' might earn you a visit from your local police department.
How I answered the door one year depended on who was knocking. I'd look through the peephole and if it was little kids, I had a long black dress with a cloak and a witches hat on with my black cat in my arms. If it was older kids (10 and up) I'd put on this bloody mask and a trenchcoat that had a fake mangled arm sticking out of one ripped sleeve. If it was kids too old to be trick or treating, I'd wear the last costume but I'd turn the knob to barely open the door then I'd get on the ground and pull it open with my mangled arm and crawl toward them screaming and moaning and tossing bubblegum at them. Needless to say that became pretty popular with the older kids who quickly spread the word about our house. It didnt take long to run out of gum so I started throwing dogfood at them.
^ Haha, I always thought you were a guy, lol... forgive me if you're really are and enjoy dressin' up as a witch. :o)

LOL Nah, I don't cross dress as a witch. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I had my gender and state on my user page but it disappeared, so I never bothered with it since.
