How Spooktacularly Halloween-Nerdy Are You?

When it comes to trick-or-treating, where do you roam?

I prefer to explore different neighborhoods for variety—and to scope out the best houses with the king-size bars!

I haunt my own neighborhood—no sense driving anywhere else!

I’m more of a homebody—and I may or may not turn my lights off when I see trick-or-treaters approaching.

What's your costume game like?

I’ve got my costume planned months in advance, it’s epic!

I usually throw something together last minute, but it’s still spooky-fun—or maybe a little cute and trendy (hi, Barbie!).

I haven’t dressed up since I was in grade school—what’s the point?

How do you decorate your haunted abode?

My house is decked out with skeletons, graveyards, and fog machines. The whole nine spooky yards!

I keep it relatively simple with some pumpkins and maybe some cobwebs on the bushes

I’ll let the neighbors handle the decorations.

How much candy will you eat this Halloween season?

The limit does not exist! King-sized candy bars, candy corn, caramel apples—it’s all fair game.

I’m always down for a few of everything—but not so much that I feel sick.

I’m not that into candy! Maybe a piece or two of my favorites.

What Halloween activities are you going to partake in?

You’ll find me at every haunted house, horror movie marathon, and costume contest within a 25-mile radius.

Let’s go to a pumpkin patch, drink cider, grab a pumpkin spice latte, and do all the fall things!

I might watch a scary movie if I’m bored.

What Halloween movie are you watching?

Gimme all the classic horror movies—I want to be so scared I scream!

Hocus Pocus or something cute!

Umm, whatever’s on TV will work.

The ultimate polarizing candy debate: What’s your stance on candy corn?

Candy corn is quintessential Halloween—so I love it, of course!

I can take it or leave it; I might snack on a few but I’m not buying it on my own.

Absolutely not! Anyone who likes candy corn is lying.

For the parents (or future parents) here, what are your thoughts on imposing a candy limit on your kiddos on Halloween night?

I can’t be a hypocrite—if I’m going to be gorging on all the candy, they can have a little extra fun, too. No limits here!

We take the moderation approach—they can pick out 10 pieces to keep, but the rest gets donated.

One piece only! We run a tight ship.

What do you know about the teal pumpkins you see on people’s porches?

The Teal Pumpkin Project, of course! It means that the house has allergen-free options or non-food treats to give out for kiddos with food allergies.

Hmm, I’ve seen them, but I don’t know what they mean.

Truly no idea what you’re talking about!
