LISBON — Dressed as witches, princesses, pirates, vampires and monsters, more than 100 trick-or-treaters celebrated Halloween by going trunk to trunk Saturday night.

The Lisbon Community School PTO hosted its first “trunk or treat,” in which trick-or-treaters went from vehicle to vehicle collecting candy. Each vehicle was decorated in a theme. One resembled a hockey rink with cages, another was covered with a spider web and spiders.

Bobbi and Glenn Hill turned their truck into a pirate ship, complete with a plank over the tailgate, a flag flying from the truck bed and a treasure chest of candy. Other vehicles were done up in a Christmas theme, a disco center, a farm, a haunted houses and other Halloween themes.

“I think this is a great, safe way for the kids to enjoy Halloween,” said Michelle Huston, sitting in front of her vehicle dressed as a witch and passing out candy.

The idea for the trunk-or-treat came from PTO member Amy Austin. Not only is trunk-or-treating safer than going door to door, it allows adults passing out candy to get into the holiday by decorating their vehicles and dressing up, she said.

Twenty vehicles signed up to pass out candy, and 136 students returned invitations saying they’d participate. “That’s good for the first year,” Austin said.
