I live in a part of the world that doesn't usually celebrate Halloween much, but last year our street made an effort. It seems people noticed because this year someone decided to hold a themed market here, and there was a big turnout. I think it's becoming a thing for the town now.
My neighbour is getting seriously into 3D printing and made lots of cool toys that he gave away instead of food. That was cool to see, because he's been struggling a bit since his wife died, and he was never very community-oriented, but having something like this brought out his good side.
I reused a wizard costume from a fantasy fair earlier this year. Hung a pumpkin full of treats from the end of my staff, and rode around on my electric unicycle for a bit, giving them away. Any bit of novelty is valid if it's in the right spirit. That's what I like about Halloween.
You can't really go wrong if you wear something that works for you. High or low effort, it's all good.
