I used to make popcorn balls and dress in an Indian caftan I made and with face makeup to meet the kids at the door. That was years ago. Now I do the "turn off lights and go to back of house" routine.
Last year I was in Cody, WY, for Halloween. People there kept asking me if I had ever been in Cody for Halloween. It is a rather small town. There is a main street and parents take their costumed little kids up and down main to the businesses, and that is where they trick or treat.
Lynching symbols of any kind are a hate crime. Some people are ignorant of why, but they need to be educated why a noose is not a decoration, even at Halloween.
