Every community has a legendary 'candy house.' This year, it's mine.
, people tell us, well, what it’s like to have experiences many of us have not even imagined. In this entry, we spoke to Johner Riehl, a public relations professional from San Diego who has been the proud proprietor of a full-sized candy bar house on Halloween since 2020. It has made him a legend among the children in his neighborhood, and his reputation seems to grow with each passing year. This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.
We used to live on a much busier street in San Diego, where we got a ton of trick-or-treaters. There were flat sidewalks and lots of houses—prime real estate for Halloween night. It was one of those areas where kids who didn’t live in the neighborhood would travel to, just to take advantage of the incredible trick-or-treating opportunities.
I will say, if anyone wants to become a full-sized candy household, you need to set the right parameters. Don’t walk out there with a bunch of treats on a tray, or leave them on the doorstep. They’ll be gone in minutes. Sometimes we present our guests with a clear choice: “Choose one of these three candy bars,” which reins in the chaos. If you pull it off, you’ll endear yourself to your neighbors.
I expect to be running a full-sized candy house for the rest of my life. It’s only enhanced what I already love about Halloween. Kids don’t have a lot of control over their lives, especially the ones who are the age of trick-or-treaters. I mean, I remember what it was like when I was a kid, and how awesome it was to get something truly special from a house on the big night.
