What is your favorite thing to do during the Halloween season? For example, going to Haunted trails, dressing up, or just spending time with friends.

“As far as Halloween goes, I have nephews, so I have the opportunity to still be a kid. So I love dressing up with them; I love doing the setup- mostly decorating for Halloween. I think that’s my favorite. Carving pumpkins, painting pumpkins-pumpkins. I love scary movies and candy. Candy is great, but we’re grown now, so we don’t get free candy, which sucks.”

“I like the dressing up part of it, and I also like going to haunted houses. I don’t know, just because I like to cosplay. So it’s the one time I can just wear it, and no one will ask questions. If you know anything about Naruto, I’m going to be Tobi, and I really like his character, so I’m going to dress up as him this year. I’m planning to look for a haunted house, and I want to go to a party afterward.”

“I just like to stay in and watch horror movies with my friends. I think that’s the best part. I do like to dress up, if I have time. I would like to dress up this year, but I don’t know as what yet. For movies, I recommend Halloween Kills, and – it’s not a movie, but a Netflix show- Midnight Mass. I just finished watching it and it’s really good.”

What is your favorite thing to do during the Halloween season? For example, going to Haunted trails, dressing up, or just spending time with friends.

“My favorite thing to do is probably to dress up- like dress up and go to parties. It’s cool to just hang out, and, you know- if you’re old enough- to drink and go out. Especially on Broadway, with all the people dressed up. You get to see people and interact. I did have plans to dress up, but, you know, I’m a broke college student. But, normally, we do dress up in costumes. “

What is your favorite thing to do during the Halloween season? For example, going to Haunted trails, dressing up, or just spending time with friends.

“I like carving pumpkins and eating a lot of candy. I like to get together with my friends and dress up. That’s probably my favorite thing-  wearing a costume and stuff. My boyfriend and I are going as Han Solo and Leia. Also, my birthday is on Halloween. So regular birthday stuff too. I actually don’t like scary movies though, they scare me. I know that’s so lame because my birthday’s on Halloween and I don’t do scary stuff.”
