What was your favorite candy to receive on Halloween as a child? Current favorite? Flavored tootsie rolls, and reese's pumpkins, and those are probably still my favorites

What was your favorite costume as a child? In 5th grade my friend and I dressed up as a siamese surgeon (we were weird kids), which was just both of us fitting into one very large pair of hospital scrubs. It was snowing, and so hard to walk... it was an absolute mess, but we were laughing the entire time

Do you have a story or memory from a past Halloween? funny, scary, or otherwise! Not a good story, but once when I was like, 7 or so, I was busy eating my weight in candy after ToTing, and a Now n Later got stuck in my teeth, and I ended up ripping a filling out :S. Needless to say, that was the last time I ate Now n Laters

Fave candy: As a child - Peanut Butter Cups. Now - Crunchie

Fave costume: When I was in highschool my friends and I went as a 6-pack of Pepsi. It was pretty rad.

Memory: My birthday is a few days before Halloween, so I have fond memories of Halloween birthday parties. But I do harbour a bit of resentment as an adult towards Halloween because people are always busy when I want to go out for my birthday and/or I have to do something Halloween-y.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups ALWAYS. I also like receiving mini Dots or Milk Duds boxes.

Both my black cat costume from when I was 4 and a ballerina costume from when I was 6 or 7.

Other Minnesotans will also remember this, but there was a huge blizzard in 1991 and while it was cold, it was fun to go trick or treating in the very deep snow.

What was your favorite candy to receive on Halloween as a child? Current favorite? as a kid: bottle caps. I think I only liked them because they were so rare. current favorite: caramel twix

What was your favorite costume as a child? Not my favorite, but my most unique costume was a snowman. My mom made the costume.

Do you have a story or memory from a past Halloween? funny, scary, or otherwise! I really like the nostalgia of remembering Halloween in elementary school and dressing up, exchanging candy and doing a parade outside on our little circular school driveway.

I have only been TOTing once in my life and it was when I was 16. My parent's never allowed us to go, so I didn't until I was 16. I haven't yet decided if DD will TOT or not.

What was your favorite costume as a child? My brother and I were twins so I would dress like him and he would dress like me like every year..sorta I never wore a dress so he got more use out of dresses than I did.

I remember the first year my parents let us go TOTing on our own we were around 11 years old, we went with our neighbor and we visited a house that was all done up with a fake man hanging in a tree. I cried like a little girl and they had to walk me the 1.5 miles back home. I was so embarrassed.

Favorite Candy as a child: I can't remember! Maybe M&Ms or Nestle Crunch?

Favorite Candy now: Kit Kat and Rolos

Favorite Childhood costume: I was a lottery ball when I was in 2nd grade and it was the number 7 since I was 7 years old. A friend's mom made it for me

Story or Memory from Halloweens passed: I don't really have any but I was a dancer so I often used dance recital costumes as my Halloween costume.

What was your favorite candy to receive on Halloween as a child? Current favorite?
Reese's peanut butter cups and twizzlers
What was your favorite costume as a child?
Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. I was Dorothy probably 5 or 6 times growing up.

Growing up we would come home from trick or treating and dump our pillowcases full of candy in piles on the floor. My sisters and I would look through it and trade what we didn't want while Rocky Horror Picture Show played in the background. I love that movie and until I was an adult I never saw anything after Ed was killed. I guess because we had to go to bed. But I was really surprised by the floorshow and aliens at the end when I watched it later in life.

Now that we're all older, my dad host annual Halloween parties. I help with the crafty decorations and party planning. It's so much fun and I'm really disappointed it's not happening this year because of my sister's wedding in early November.

I just recently saw Rocky Horror for the first time.. it was a very WTF moment for me (I love it now though). We have been going to the local theatre production of the RHS for the last few years, and every year I become more and more obsessed. I always say I'm going to try out for the following year, but haven't gotten the courage to do so

My Mom made me this really cool Crayola Crayon Costume. I thought it was really cool.

In boarding school we didn't really celebrate Halloween officially because it was a Christian School. My lit. class had just finished reading the Great Gatsby and we convinced our teacher to have a big Great Gatsby party and we all dressed up and had a blast.
