Favorite Halloween memories
| NAME | What was your favorite Halloween costume as a kid? | What is your favorite Halloween candy? | What age did you stop trick-or-treating? | What movie scared you most as a kid? | What are you going to be for Halloween this year? |
| Michele | loved dressing up in costumes as a child and even though we didn’t go “trick or treating” i loved handing out candy. | snickers | I wasn’t permitted to trick our treat as a child so i “began” trick or treating with my children | Ghost Story | My favorite costume is my witch costume! |
| Sue K. | wish I could remember, but Halloween wasn’t the big holiday in our family. Christmas was. | whoppers or smarties | my mom thinks I stopped at 12 years, but I continued in secret with friends until I was 15. | The Birds, with Phase 4 being a close second | A candy giver! |
| Missy | Princess | m&m’s and hersey’s bar | 12? | Pet Cemetery (saw it when I was 9 and still terrified of that movie) | nothing (was going to be a peacock) |
| Shannon | My favorite halloween costume as a kid was when I dressed as a cow girl! I really loved that out fit so much, even after halloween, I kept wearing it! haha. | My favorite halloween candy are fun-sized milky ways!! yum! | I trick or treated until I was in high school. My friends and I used to go and have a great time! haha. | The movie that scared me most as a kid is Hocus Pocus. I still think it is so suspenseful!! | For halloween this year I will probably not be dressing up 🙁 although I do love halloween because it is a huge holiday for my boyfriend’s family. It is a tradition to carve pumpkins and have a contest! we line them all up and have the trick or treaters pick their favorite one! |
| Sue S. | girl from 1940’s | banana laffy taffy | 18 | the exorcist and the sentinel | Myself |

| Michael | I was E.T. one year while in elementary school. My mother made my costume and it was AMAZING (as evidenced by the fact that I won “best costume” in a school wide costume contest that year). | Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups | Not exactly sure….at some point in early on in my high school career, I think. | I never really saw any scary movies as a child. As a teenager, I’d have to say “Poltergeist” was pretty darn scary, as was “The Shinning.” Oh wait….“The Exorcist” is terrifying, too! I think all three of these terrified me equally. | I’m happy to report that my mother is continuing her tradition of sewing Halloween costumers; not for me anymore, but fore my son (who is going to be the Tin Man from the “The Wizard of Oz”). |
| Lori | I can’t remember back that far!! | Snickers | Last time out was a freshman in high school and our group all went as hippies – it was just the early 70’s after all! | Any and all Dracula movies | I haven’t worn a costume in years, but do wear the Halloween orange and black complete with spider/ghost earrings when passing out candy to the trick-or treaters! |
| Zack | star trek character | reeses peanut butter cups | freshman in high school | i love scary movies! | not sure if i will dress up |
| Angel | frankensteins bride | Twix Candy Bars | 8th grade | The Halloween movies with Michael Meyers | Witch |
| Lynlee | My favorite Halloween costume was definitely Belle from Beauty and the beast | I’m a peanut butter and chocolate girl so Reese’s was always what I ate first!! | I think the last time I went trick-or-treating I was a sophomore in college. Friends and I went out just for fun!! | I do not do well with scary movies. The Sixth Sense really creeped me out. | An Angry Bird (the red one)! |
| Emma | I loved being a pumpkin. | Candy-Corn! | i Still Trick-or-Treat, but this is going to be my last year (17). | The Scream Series scares me the most ! | i Want to be a Smurf for Halloween this year. |
| Alex | So many to choose from…Michaelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ranks up there, but I think number one will always be the year I was my musical hero, Paul McCartney. | Tie between Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Three Musketeers | In eighth grade I was Dennis Rodman for Halloween and that was my last year of trick-or-treating | Definitely Wizard of Oz. The Flying Monkeys are very unsettling to an eight year old. | Doc Brown from “Back to the Future”
