1. What was your favorite Halloween costume as a kid?
We didn't celebrate Halloween when I was a kid. Like many strict Southern Baptist families, mine believed Halloween was "The Devil's Holiday" so we did not celebrate in any way. I wish we had. I love the innocent part of the holiday -- trick or treating, costumes, etc.
2. What is your all-time favorite Halloween candy?
I like to eat almost all candies, but for Halloween, I particularly love Candy Corn. I actually don't eat much of it, but I think they are so cute and I have some cute seasonal things (hand towels, etc) with candy corn on them.
3. If you give out candy on Halloween, do you overbuy? How much do you keep for yourself?
I've never been able to hand out candy before because I've always lived in communities without kids (usually gated condo communities). I'm REALLY looking forward to doing it this year. My girlfriend lives in a culdesac in a classic suburban neighborhood chock full of kids. Their neighborhood goes crazy for Halloween, so it should be a lot of fun. We've bought a bunch of candy. Probably 8-10 big bags and we're pretty sure that's not enough and we're either going to have to buy more or risk running out halfway through the night.
4. What's the most clever Halloween costume you have ever seen or heard about?
I can't wait to see the responses to this question. I can't think of any good ones off the top of my head. Although I almost bought my dog a mailman costume this year. I thought the irony of that costume was pretty cute! Oh and my neighbor dressed as a fisherwoman and dressed her dog as a lobster. That was pretty cute!
5. Have you ever been to a corn maze?
I haven't, and I don't plan to. For some reason, that freaks me out. I'm not generally claustrophobic, but I don't like feeling trapped/lost. I love pumpkin patches, apple picking, hay rides, bonfires, and all the other stuff that goes with corn mazes though!
