Likely filmed in a New Jersey suburban neighborhood, the film advises children and parents on safe costume construction and raises concerns about contamination of treats. (Poison candy and treat tampering is often considered an urban legend as few, if any, harmful incidents have been recorded. The 1982 Chicago Tylenol murders only added to the fear surrounding this issue.) Some of the children’s costumes are offensive and/or outdated but are not narratively significant. 00:18 “CEF“ Logo.
