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!

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!

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”
