3. Do you get many trick-or-treaters? Our neighborhood is overrun with kids so we usually get at least 30 or so.

1. What was your favorite Halloween costume as a kid? All kids were either a hobo or a gypsy. I can't even remember bought costumes in stores. We also had to perform, dance, sing, say a poem or make up something which most of us did. Early introduction to the work equals pay thing I guess. Fun though.
2. Favorite Halloween candy? I may be the only person who buys Candy Corn one more time during the year.
3. Do you get many trick-or-treaters? In the morning there are at least 35 kids at the closest bus stop. Its a young neighborhood.
4. Do you decorate for Halloween? I was thinking of making a huge man to make them step over on the walk. The thrift shop would have tons of ideas.
5. Favorite scary movie? I just caught Silence of the Lambs. Saw the part where Jody Foster is in the guys house. (That creepy actor plays Monks boss, although you'd never know it. )

1. What was your favorite Halloween costume as a kid? I don't remember a favorite. Halloween wasn't such a huge deal -- at least in my town -- during the '60s and '70s. We certainly didn't put much effort into them. Usually just a hastily purchased plastic mask.
2. Favorite Halloween candy? Miss Mae-Mae's candied apples. And she didn't hand them out to just anyone. You had to be one of her regulars.
3. Do you get many trick-or-treaters? Only my second Halloween in neighborhood, so I don't know the patterns yet.
4. Do you decorate for Halloween? I don't even decorate for Christmas!
5. Favorite scary movie? "The Shining," I guess. I'm not big on horror films.

2. Favorite Halloween candy? Chocolate, of course, but also Smarties, Nerds, SweeTarts, Sprees, that sort of thing.
3. Do you get many trick-or-treaters? OMG, we get 'em by the truckload! Our street is only 2 blocks long but it's Halloween Central. The neighbors go all out with decorations and props in their yards, so people bring their kids to our street to T-or-T. Mr. Ingy and I have a graveyard with ghouls and skulls, fog emanating from a fog machine, a strobe light, sound effects, and some other stuff. A house a few doors down has an electric chair and a coffin with a vampire that pops out to scare the kids. Another guy fills his yard with about 50 carved & lit pumpkins, hangs them from the trees, puts 'em on poles, whatever. Another house has an elaborate display that taken them weeks to install, it's like a movie set. Then there's the neighbor who will be trolling the street on stilts dressed as a 9-foot Grim Reaper. It's the most fun neighborhood I've ever lived in as far as Halloween goes.
4. Do you decorate for Halloween? Yup, see above. We also have a severed arm hanging from the mail slot for the mailman's benefit.
5. Favorite scary movie? I like the old camp classics, like Bela Lugosi's Dracula movies.

2. Favorite Halloween candy? Smarties. To this day that is my favorite.
3. Do you get many trick-or-treaters? Last year we got over 70.
4. Do you decorate for Halloween? No, I do not.
5. Favorite scary movie? My favorite scary movie is Wait Until Dark. More suspenseful than scary, but there is one scene that makes me jump every time I see it.
