October 31. Doors are locked, windows closed, bolts slammed shut. Why? Because it's time for the annoying neighborhood kids to come begging for candy. How to put off those little rascals from disturbing you while you're watching TV and shoveling down your last Reese's Piece? Try hanging one of these free downloadable signs on your door. (Or, if you're more devious, try hanging it on a neighbor's door instead.)
The Hippy Household

There's always a parent or two who will give out apples or bananas as healthy treats on this night of mischief, blissfully unaware of the hateful looks they are getting from a group of candy-happy 7-year-olds. Knowing this, you could go the whole hog (probably not the best term) and scare all trick-or-treaters away except those with humorless, health-conscious parents. [Click here to download.]
The Annoying Dentist

Capitalizing on the fact that no kid in the world would choose to enter a dentist's office at will, this sign should keep the little freeloaders away. Even better: it's in Comic Sans, the favorite font of dentists everywhere. [Click here to download.]
The Unstable Husband

Every neighborhood has one: the guy that slams his car door when he gets home from work, looks angry and disheveled, probably owns several weapons, and eats everything in sight. Would any parent in their right mind allow their little cherubs to bang on a door with a sign like this? Easy to edit, if you'd rather blame it on the wife instead. [Click here to download.]
Other prank signs to consider:
"TOXIC: HOUSE BEING FUMIGATED"
"PLEASE KNOCK LOUDLY, WORKING IN NOISY SUBTERRANEAN EXPERIMENTAL LABORATORY"
"YOUR COSTUME SUCKS"
The last one is especially for those trick-or-treaters who think buying a mask from Wal-Mart is a "costume." If it didn't take you at least an hour to make, guess what, kids?
