Neptune police posted on Facebook a list of debunked Halloween rumors, encouraging parents to focus on real safety issues associated with the candy-filled holiday.

"Parents, you might remember classic rumors sent (sic) via email chains like the headlight flash gang initiation, LSD-laced temporary tattoos, or the idea that razor blades and needles are being jammed into every Reese's Cup in town," the department wrote on Facebook.

"All of these rumors have stood the test of time and share the common attribute of being completely false. This year's newest Halloween rumor involving marijuana candy being distributed to unsuspecting trick-or-treaters is another urban legend that has yet to be substantiated but is spreading like wildfire."

Police then offered the following:

" Let's try to focus our energy on REAL safety concerns this Halloween with the following tips:

-Make sure your trick-or-treaters are wearing reflective gear and carrying a flashlight for maximum visibility.

-We don't think we need to remind them, but ensure your kids are carrying cell phones and know to dial 9-1-1 in case of emergency or suspicious activity.

-Help them plan their trick-or-treat trail, and avoid having to cross any high-traffic streets or highways.

-Make sure they're sticking with a group on well-lit streets and only visiting homes with porch lights on.

-Wear well-fitting masks, costumes, and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips, and falls.

-The Halloween curfew is in effect, all ghosts and goblins must be home and off the streets by 9:00PM tonight."
