Who doesn't love a good Jimmy Fallon tweet challenge? The funny stories are always the perfect mixture of hilarious and embarrassing, and there is nothing we like better than that.

That's right, these weird stories are frightening without any ghosts or goblins. Imagine coming home after a night of tricking-or-treating to find that you had brought back the wrong kid or getting ditched by your friends because you were dressed like Waldo from Where's Waldo. So scroll down below to read some of the hilarious, yet very real stories that are so weird they could've only happened on a Halloween themed party. Don't forget to upvote your favorite funny Halloween story!

I don't know how long ago or where that was but when I was a young child I went up to a house to get candy and a scarecrow jumped out of the chair and I turned around screaming, running away and ran into a tree! It was hilarious lol
I tried the same just in the 90's. Worked out better for me....I got 5 DM(what we had before the €) from an old Lady.
We also tried this in the 90's in southern Germany. We only went to a couple houses and the owners were quite confused. They thought we were the three wise men, because the catholic church would have choir /altar boys dress as the wise men at Christmas time and take collections for the church by going door-to-door (my mom would often give them a chocolate bar instead).

No reason to be sad. :) People probably were just confused. Halloween only became a popular thing in Germany in the late 90s. And it's still not as popular as it is in the U.S. But it's becoming more and more accepted. The same goes for Valentine's Day.

1990's, newly married to my Egyptian immigrant been-in-the-country-10-months husband. He asked about Halloween. I gave him a detailed explanation of ancient Celtic practices, the introduction of Christianity to the British Isles, the modern results centuries after the merging of two cultures and two religions. So he calls me at work Halloween evening, confused. I had left out the most important part-- "children dressed in weird costumes, ringing our doorbell and expecting free candy."
1980's, our neighborhood frowned on teenagers trick or treating. We dressed up, told disapproving households I was a German exchange student, so my classmates were giving me the American experience. My very convincing German accent worked--until one excited woman called her Austrian mother-in-law to the door. In high school German, I explained that we were just joking, a Halloween trick. She was genuinely amused, and kept up the ruse until we left.
Moved to southern Germany in the late 80’s. My mom taught my Kindergarten about Halloween. Later (early 90’s) a lot of Americans who lived off base, would have their address added to a map of our town so that people would be able to drive to all the houses participating. Later on the German neighbors who lived nearby would sometimes decorate and often had candy just in case :)
We did this in 90s Austria and hid in the field when someone called the cops. It was fine. 3 years later there is an entire chapter in the english books dedicated to Halloween so I think we helped.
U can try this in Czech and you'll probably get same result now. And you will look stupid as well. Although we have Halloween parties usually in kindergartens, nobody is doing trick or treat.
Yes, there's Fasching, but you dress up and have a party, instead of walking around threating random people by ringing their bell and demanding candies...

Back in the day, german Kids did the trick or treat routine on December the 6th (Nikolaus), so it wasn't that unusual. Halloween came up in the late nineties.
That's better then what my dad got trick or treating in Germany as a kid a dum dum to the forehead. They were the size of a tootsie pop from the 3 story
My father used to repair and build diesel engines. One of the contracts his company had was to service and repair the diesel engine on a luxury yacht owned by a middle eastern prince. When it was approaching Halloween, the captain of the yacht informed my Dad that the prince was having a party at his mansion in the hills and that, even though the celebration was by private invitation, that employees and service people could bring their kids by for trick or treat. He gave my Dad the address and told him which door to knock on. When we got there all donned in our costumes, we knocked on the door..a butler answered..and complimented us on our costumes. their candy...half pound chocolate bars. My Dad said it was worth the drive to see the looks on our faces when he handed them to us.
you are great! But was he O.K I mean he did fall over a table so.....
Thats so sad. But a good tip for avoiding Trick or Treaters - realistic looking stuffed animal on the steps. We had to turn off our doorbell as the the dogs would go frantic with excitement at every ring. We were not mean - we left a tub of sweeties out for the kids to help themselves.
My sister let her German Shepherd out in the afternoons. The dog had the habit of wandering the neighborhood for hours at a time. She'd come up to the porch in the early evenings when it was getting dark to whine to be let in. My sister often opened the door without looking outside. Next morning, there is a sheriff's car parked on the street in front of the house. My sister saw the cops looking at and pointing at something on the lawn. My sister realized the dog had sifted through the garbage of the neighbor down the street and found the leg bones of a deer our neighbor had brought home from a hunt. They approached the gate to get a better look and my sister came out and looked at the bones. "They're deer bones" she said looking at them closely. "Well your next door neighbor thought she'd stumbled on a crime scene." they said. "Nope..just a curious German Shepherd that thought she found the ultimate gift for mom." She took them to the dump that morning.
(plot twist) What happened to the other half of the whiskey...
I lost one of my lower molars as a kid while eating a piece of caramel--the tooth got stuck to the caramel and when I opened my mouth (while chewing), it just came out. Thankfully, I didn't swallow it.
My mom has a motto, "it's only funny till someone gets hurt, then it's hilarious.
I once went over to one of my neighbors who forgot so he let me come inside and pick out a stuffed animal.
Bella, Edward and Jacob? What am I missing here? Should I know them?
I want to be that house that hands out full sized candy bars but we live on a road where no one comes :(
Skip the house? After that, you should have taken a dump on their lawn every year...
Lens cap, Chris. Lens cap. Or if it were a manual camera, you had your ISO or exposure settings wrong, too small an aperture, or the battery in your light meter died. Been there, done that.
One year, I dressed up as a nurse and coincidentally witnessed a car accident. A panicked man at the scene started yelling at me to help take care of the victims because, "aren't you a nurse?" No sir, I just play one on tv. :/
For this year's, I opened the door, and there was this little kid with a full cute costume and make-up, but I didn't recognize what his character was. I asked him with a big smile: "How nice! Who are you supposed to be?" Without batting an eye (he didn't smile for a second, before, during and after) "I'm here for the candy!"... Well, OK! :|
Does anyone even have trick or treaters anymore? I used to love having the kids explain their costumes and I always gave more candy to the best one!
I get hundreds of them every year (same with my parents). We can easily give away 250-300 (if not more) bags of candies or chips.

Our Halloween party guests nearly did me in, And I'll never go as a piñata again.
