They'd then say to people "Trick or Treat" and if the person gave them something nice (A Treat) they'd be blessed with good luck, however if the person didn't give them anything they'd put a curse on them (A Trick)
That's probably not the exact way it came around, but it's how I remember it's origin.

Thats about right, however it hasn't existed in the way it does now until we Americans started being all weird. Silly Holy Roman Empire banning all them fun traditions and such.

When kids come by, and they say "Is he real?" I'm going to lean towards them and say "No."

They dress up in costumes to amuse the spirts of passed loved ones or something along those lines. Trick or treating on the other hand, I don't know where that came from. I think Americans made it

Trick or treating came from the Mayans who on holloween would honor the dead by leaving sweets on there doorsteps to please the spirits so that they would go back to hell/heaven.
