The boy was a bat. He told everyone he was a policeman. My mother says he was likely undercover.

http://www.screamline.net/holloween06_ss.php He ended up not going trick-or-treating on actual Holloween, due to suddenly being scared of the dark. This didn't bug us much, as he'd gotten to go do the door to door thing last weekend, while camping.
He had a good haul, anyway... which my mother TOOK TO WORK. And then tried to feed me a South Beach bar. BUH?! Ah well, at least my co-workers have good stuff to bring in.
