1. TRICK! A healthy treat!

When people reach into your Halloween sweet bowl, they'll expect something like a small chocolate or a jelly sweet. But the lure of silver tin foil will be too much and they'll make sure to take one of these mysterious treats. But it's a trick as it's a cooked Brussels sprout! Healthy but fiendish!

2. TREAT! Read a spook story from the letterbox!

Everyone loves having a story read to them – even adults, which is why audiobooks are so popular! Instead of teeth-bothering treats, why not write a spooky story and read it from behind the door. It'll be a little weird but lots of fun! For extra Halloween fun, open the door and show your trick or treaters that you're an actual werewolf! It'll give them a little jump, but that's all part of the big night!

3. TRICK! The fake snake in a drawer!

This a perfect prank to play on Halloween morning. If you've got a rubber snake, put in one of your grown-up's sock drawers. The best thing about this prank is that it's an early prank and no-one will expect to come face-to-face with this spooky serpent!

4. TREAT! Watch a spooky movie with your friends!

If the weather outside is awful and the idea of becoming a rain-soaked ghost isn't exciting, why not watch a spooky film with your friends or family? You're cosy, there's snacks and it's fun. Excellent!

5. TRICK! The ol' tasty apple prank!

This is possibly the most evil trick you could ever pull on Halloween. Find someone who LOVES apples and pretend you've covered one in toffee or chocolate. The fiendish twist is that you've actually used an onion! Oh, the horror!

6. TREAT! Offer a plate of fake teeth!

Dentists probably don't approve of trick or treating due to the amount of amazing sweets you can get. But this treat is vaguely healthy. Slice an apple, spread some peanut butter on one side and add some marshmallows to create these creepy fake chompers!

7. TRICK! Unleash a fake spider!

There are only two people on earth who won't get a fright during this prank: Jack Randall and Joe Sugg. But for people walking up your path for some Halloween candy? Not so much. Dangle a massive fake spider above the door and see how your trick or treaters react!

8. TREAT! Cupcakes disguised as miniature witches!

It wouldn't be Halloween without witches, would it? How about serving up plate of witchy cupcakes for some lucky trick or treaters?

9. TRICK! Answer the door dressed as a clown!

On paper, clowns are supposed to fun: bright clothes, a red nose and ridiculously big shoes. Hilarious, right? In real life, they're a bit creepy. So imagine the terror on your trick or treater's faces when you answer the door dressed as a circus performer. Award more sweets to the person who doesn't run away shrieking.

10. TREAT! A bowl of tiny pumpkins!

If you run out of Halloween treats this year, why not get a marker and transform a handful of humble satsumas into pumpkins. Parents will think you're a legend for dishing out some vitamins on this sugar-fuelled evening!
