SPOOKING HOURS

ILLUSTRATION: Graphic

Today is no ordinary school night. It's Halloween - time for

children 12 and under to hit the streets in a frenzy of monster

madness commonly known as trick-or-treating.

This year, trick-or-treating begins at dusk in South Hampton

Roads cities and officially ends at 8 p.m. A word of caution: Anyone

older than 12 who engages in trick-or-treat activities is subject to

a fine.

In Isle of Wight County, the town of Smithfield's hours are dusk

until 8:30 p.m. for 12 and younger; the town of Windsor has no

established hours or age restrictions. Neither Isle of Wight nor

Southampton counties have established hours.

For the city of Franklin, curfew is 8 p.m. for 12 and under.
