When I was a kid, trick-or-treating at the mall was the only option; we lived in a forest, and with houses being at least five acres apart and up driveways that were at least a mile long, trick-or-treating in the neighbourhood wasn't really a very good idea. So we always drove the forty-five minutes into town, went into the mall with a couple thousand other families, and went from store to store at a glacial pace getting cheap candies in our bags.
The mall always closed early on Halloween, so that none of the stores were open for shopping, but an employee or two would be sitting or standing at the front of the store, handing out candy. I apparently loved trick-or-treating this way as a kid, though all I actually remember of it was far too many people and far too much heat.
