Trick-or-treat at some frightfully delightful places on Halloween in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Neighborhoods take Halloween seriously and often go big for the holiday. San Francisco houses and doors are already some of the most Instagrammed curbs in the country. Add Halloween decor, and those Victorian homes practically beg kids to ring the doorbells and say, "Trick-or-treat!"
