1. What an amazing costume Stacy!!!

   1. I too was a pumpkin.

   2. We have lots of little kids (5 and under) in my complex, so it’s always great to see them all dressed up. We all meet up to take a community picture at 4 P.M. and then start trickortreating.

   3. Starburst

   4. When we were teens, my sister and I made it look like my brother’s car was stolen (we just parked it down the street). He freaked out and it stopped being funny. The prank went on way too long because we were afraid to tell him. He’s still angry, 12 years later.

2. 1.) the first costume that I remember and was documented was me dressing up as ‘Lady Lovely Locks’, some pastel book character who had pastel squirrels living in her insanely big and ‘lovely’ locks of hair.

   3) Almond Joys. Candy involving chocolate & coconut are very appealing to me. The nut element is a bonus, but not required.

3. 1. I have a picture of myself in a homemade Reggie Jackson costume (on the Oakland A’s) from 1975.

   2. We don’t have many kids in the neighborhood. I bought five bags of candy this year, and will probably end up eating most of it.

   3. I’m a Snickers man, but I also love Junior Mints. (I bought 3 bags of Snickers and 2 bags of JM’s.)

   4. We wrote a letter to my college roommate from the dean of housing, saying he’d been kicked out of the dorm for excessive messiness. (He was a huge slob.) He called his parents and was genuinely crushed. We thought it was hilarious. He didnt.

   Amazing costume, Conradts!!!!

4. 1. I have no idea

   3. Resses Peanut Butter Cups (I like them frozen)

   4. A co-worker and I filled up the company president’s closet with packing peanuts while he was on vacation (what a pain in the ass). The monday that he came back we both made excuses to be in his office when he went to hang up his coat. It was pretty funny watching his face as the peanuts pooled around his ankles when he opened the door. Of course we then had to pick them all up.

   Either that or tieing a co-worker to a chair and then leaving him in the elevator to fend for himself. (note to anyone wanting to try this, make sure that you tape up the feet so that they can’t roll the chair back out of the elevator.)

5. my first halloween costume was a care bear.

6. First costume: Mummy (my dad said it took 3 Ace bandages)

   Favorite candy: Sour Patch Kids

   Prank: Hmmmm. I used to work at a big office supply store. We convinced a new associate that our company had bought a certain similarly named home improvement store, and we all needed to start learning about paint and carpet and such. I overheard him telling that to customers, who didn’t know what to make of it. It really wasn’t funny and was kind of mean, but that’s how we passed the time.

7. 1. Not my first costume, I don’t think, but one of the first I remember was a Jaws costume my Mom made for me. It was the standard plastic mask (cool bloody teeth!) with a rubber band strapping it to my head, and Mom made a black body suit with a prominent dorsal fin and “JAWS” in 6″ blue glitter letters across the chest. I was king of all I surveyed.

   Riiiiiight up until we got to the mall, and some blind old raisin took one look at me and said “Oooooooooo! What a scary ghost!”

   2. A couple of years ago, I participated in Halloween Trunk-or-Treat thing we did at our church. Basically, we all parked our cars with the trunks facing a bunch of games we had set up and gave out candy out of the backs of our cars. As the evening went on, older, less costumed kids started appearing. One girl in a pink track suit came by my car. Not only did she not stop yakking on her cell phone, she didn’t even LOOK at me as she held out her bag. Right then, I vowed to get my revenge. My plan was to fill some ice trays with urine, freeze it, and wrap it in foil. Normal kids would get good candy. If any particularly obnoxious kids came by, they would get the pee cubes (I’d keep them in a cooler behind the door). By the time they got home that night, all the candy in their bag would be covered with the now-melted wee, and they wouldn’t know where it came from. Heh heh heh…

   3. Butterfingers

   4. About two decades ago, several friends and I “borrowed” as many political yard signs (and pretty much any other signs we found in any yard we passed) as we could cram into a car and stuck them all in one other friend’s yard. There had to be a hundred or more of them. The next day, the local sheriff appeared on the news posing in front of Steve’s yard declaring “This sort of theivery will NOT be tolerated and the perpetrators will be prosecuted to the FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW!!!” I think that more than a few of his signs were present.

8. 1) Witch- little green baby face and all
   2) We are never at home for Samhain. But, when we take our kid for t-o-t, the other kids are cheerful and kind, as a rule.
   3)Junior mints or hershey’s dark (can’t get anyone to dole out godiva)
   4)When 14, my friends and I dressed as yard gnomes for Samhain and went from yard to yard (w/ wheelbarrow and well) and stood on yards in freze mode, then scared trick or treaters. (Lame? Sure. But it was fun)

9. 1. I think it was a cross between a ballerina and a circus performer. It involved a lot of blue sequins and poufy stuff for a skirt. Whatever it was, it was awesome because my mom made it. I do recall wearing those patent-leather mary janes all little girls had when I was young and slipping a lot because the grass was wet.

   2. I have yet to experience any trick-or-treaters. One year I bought a bag of Reese’s peanut butter cups and ended up with them all to myself. Which was okay because. . .

   3. Reese’s peanut butter cups. Melt in your mouth goodness.

   4. My friends and I attempted to put a tree in our friend’s dorm room. We would have been successful had he arrived 15 minutes later. Instead we were caught with the tree in the stairwell and had a good laugh.

10. 1. I was a lamb
    2. I’m usually not home on Halloween anymore, but when I lived back home, we barely got any. We lived in the woods and it would take kids days to trick-or-treat in our town without being driven house to house. I think the most we got was 13, which was basically my entire class. We’d give full-size candy bars or candy apples.
    3. Umpa Lumpas
    4. I was the smart kid in my class (grade 6), and was teased for being the teacher’s pet, so one day I brought my brother’s life-like skink toy and before class, put it on her chair and pushed it in. She screamed like a banshee.

11. 1. My first Halloween that I actually remember I was Casper the Ghost..in one of those cheap, flammable plastic outfits with the plastic mask that hurt your face and the rubber band that held it in place. Ahhh the joys.

    2. Trick or Treat night was last night for me. My town always holds it on a school night to cut down on good old fashioned Halloween pranksters. We always get a mix of seriously sweet costumes, and those who throw a football jersey on and walk around collecting candy. Of course there are always the infants asleep in their strollers as their parents walk up to get candy. Why?

    3. Favorite: hands down the Kit Kat.

    4. My best prank was pulled with the help of my brother and it’s resultant victims were my parents. We were driving from somewhere down a dark country road one night, my brother and I were in the back seat of the car. This car had the seats that folded down so that you could access the trunk from the passenger area. I pulled my seat down quietly and climbed in the trunk. I told my bro to fold the seat back up, then open and slam his door and yell that I fell out. It worked like a charm. My dad yells “what the hell?” and I hear my mom say “holy sh@! he fell out. I felt the car screech to a stop. That’s when they could hear my roaring laughter from the trunk. They didn’t find the humor in it.

12. 2. I like my neighborhood trick or treaters. Although they don’t always say thank you they are just kinda shy and awkward.
    3. Butterfinger, although I hate the way it sticks in your teeth.
    5. This one is on going and nothing elaborate, but I get my wife everytime. I pick some random celeberity and say they have died. She is always thrown off when sadly one of them has passed away…not so funny then.

13. 1. I was a punk rocker for my 1st halloween. My parents spiked the little hair I had on my head and drew on me with eyeliner. I had rainbow striped tights and a big tulle skirt and spiky wristbands. Pretty cute.

    2. Currently, my “neighborhood” is a college town, so we’re intoxicated and mostly creative. Though, you can’t escape those store-bought slut costumes. sigh.

    3. Reeses

    4. When the movie “The Ring” first came out, I was in 9th or 10th grade. My best friend was terrified of it. One night her and I were babysitting my little brother. While they were upstairs, I ran downstairs and turned the TV to a fuzzy channel. Then, I opened the front door, screamed and hid in the shoe closet. They came running downstairs to see the door wide open and the TV on and fuzzy. To make matters worse I jumped out of the closet and scared the living hell out of them. My best friend cried.

    I’m a nice person.

14. 1) according to my mom the story goes: I was about 6 months old. She dressed me in a devil’s onsie, proped me on her cousins door step, rang the door bell and hid around the corner. Her cousin’s husband open the door and was freaked out thinking someone had abandoned a baby on their door step (they didn’t have any kids at that time and were newly married). There are pictures of that outfit – very very cute.

    2) At my old house there were tons of kids and I lived right next door to the local babysitter / day care so all the kids knew my house. I haven’t been around for a halloween yet at the new house (and won’t be home tonight either) so I couldn’t tell you, but there are a number of kids in the nieghbor hood. My husband is staying home to the scare the kids so I’ll have a better report tomorrow.

    3) Right now its Kraft Carmels but it changes with the season.

15. Probably a ballerina. Either that or a dog. We had alot, not a lot of them said trick-or-treat, mostly their parents said it for them. I like Sour patch Kids or fruit Gummies. I never pulled any pranks. I wouldn’t be able to get away with it.

16. 1. First costume was a ladybug. I still have it along with all the other old baby clothes that I’m either saving for my own children because they’re not too badly worn, or because my mom won’t let me throw them out (yet).
    2. I’m a college student, so trick-or-treating sucks! My friends and I are going to go find a neighborhood and go trick-or-treating tonight though!
    3. Chocolate. Pretty much any kind.
    4. The question I really wanted to answer. The best prank, by far, that I have ever pulled, was actually April Fools 2006. It was a Saturday, and I knew a couple of my guy friends would be driving to one of their houses, a couple hours away. I waited until I knew they were well away from campus, and then I gave them a call. It went something like this…(names not mentioned to protect their privacy, as they were rather irritated they fell for this)

    Friend: Hello?
    Me: (gasping) Oh my gosh! You won’t believe it! It was horrible!
    Friend: (alarmed) What?!
    Me: We just stood there and watched it burn!
    Friend: Kate! What burned?!
    Me: Kelce…they managed to save the west side, but the east side’s gone! (Kelce East is where both friends lived)
    Friend: Oh my gosh! Was anyone injured?!
    Me: No, no, they got everyone out in time.
    Friend: How’d it start?!
    Me: (thinking, “Oh crap, I didn’t consider this question!”) Um, they think this guy was messing around with matches. (now thinking, “He’s NEVER gonna buy that.”)
    Friend: (totally buying it) Oh my gosh! That’s horrible!
    (thrilled at my success, I start laughing. My friend thinks I’m hysterical)
    Friend: (mechanically repeating) It’s okay. It’ll be okay. It’s okay. It’ll be okay.

    It took me two tries to choke out “April Fool!” and when I did, I heard a moment of dead silence before he spoke again.

    “Damn you. You’re going to hell.”

    And yes, they tried to get me back. But the best they could do was mix some teriyaki sauce with water and try to pass it off to me as tea; a trick I didn’t fall for.

17. Another honorable mention prank I pulled was to use the Vtext service of Verizon to send a text message to a co-worker(you can make it appear as if it’s from anyone you wish). I sent it from “Verizon Customer Security” and it said “Due to violations of your cell phone agreement, your phone will be disabled as of 5pm EST.” I thought for sure she knew it was me because she had just told me about sending texts from the internet using the vtext. So I’m sitting there snickering to myself figuring she wouldn’t even mention it when I hear her say “Well I’d be a hell of a lot better if you weren’t shutting my phone off today!”. She obviously fell for it and called Verizon to complain. I was in hysterics laughing. The I hear her say “Oh never mind, someone was playing a joke on me.” and hung up. It was a riot….

18. 1. The first costume I remember was when I went to kindergarden dressed like a pumpkin. I hated the costume so much and was crying and screaming at the top of my lungs so bad that both the school principal and my mom had to try and calm me down before shoving me into the classroom.

    2. I’m cool with the little kids that come by for treats, but once the teens with facial hair and no costumes start coming by I pack up shop and go inside. I’m totally digging the pee cubes idea though…. so funny!

    3. Twix and PB cups. I also recently fell in love with 5 Grand bars (which I bought to give out). I’m not so sure I’m going to give out as many of them as I had planned to!

    4. Wow, I wish I was an awesome prankster like Dan’s car prank. I totally laughed really loud and clued my assistant in to the fact that I’m totally pretending to work today. I’m such a great example!

19. 1. The first costume I can remember a bride. My mom actually altered her OWN WEDDING GOWN. When I got older I was mortified that she did that!!

    2. I don’t get trick or treaters where I live now and I miss that. I used to dress up to hand out the treats.

    3. Definitely Snickers!

    4. My ex husband had stuffed a body sitting in a chair on our porch. On night when my daughter was staying with her grandmother he took the clothes off of the dummy and dressed himself in the costume. When they came home he was sitting in the chair fully dressed in that costume. As they came close he rose up out of the chair. My daughter screamed and actually was running in place.

20. 1. when i was about 2 my older sister came down with scarlet fever right before halloween. my mom had pretty strict rules about trick or treating, so she had not intended to send a toddler out onto the street. feeling bad for my sister though, she took me up and down our street with a bucket (no costume) and told my sad story to all the neighbors. apparently, they dished out handfuls of candy for the cute baby and her poor, sick sister.

    2. i live in an apartment, and i get zero trick or treaters. at my parent’s old house (they just moved) they lived in the “rich” area, in a hilly neighborhood. parents would pack their vans full of kids and drive to our neighborhood, driving the kids from door to door to get candy. i always thought that was majorly cheating, the kids could at least walk.

    3. my favorite candies tend to change, but a longtime love of mine is red laces. which have sadly become increasingly impossible to find.

    4. for some reason, i cannot think of any pranks i’ve pulled recently, although i know there have been some. my standard prank in high school was to invite friends over to stay the night and when they asked for the bathroom, i would explain that because of our religous beliefs, we had disconnected the plumbing and built an outhouse in the creekbed behind our house. it was really fun to watch my friends try to process and react to what i had just told them.

21. 1. Parents the world over seem to love the pumpkin thing, because there’s a photo floating around my parent’s house somewhere of me all giggly and chubby in a pumpkin costume. I can see why it’s so popular though, it’s so freaking cute!

    2. Both at my new house and my parent’s house, trick or treating has been dismal over the years. Recently, my friends and I have just driven to the high candy yield neighborhoods and parked.

    3. I LOVE sour candies and sweettarts. Those are always the first to go from my pile.

    4. I’m not much of a prankster, though when I was little I tossed a cotton ball down my arachnophobic sister’s shirt while she was freaking out over seeing one. Got in trouble for that one.

22. 1. My first few years of trick-or-treating involved costumes in which my older brother would kill me. My mom always made all of our costumes and asked us what we wanted to be, so I’m not sure how she got us to agree to joint costumes for so many years. When I was only a month old she dressed me as a carrot and my 2-year-old brother as a rabbit.

    Other years included little red riding hood / big bad wolf, witch / (anatomically accurate) skeleton, bride / axe murderer. I know we did this for YEARS but I’m forgetting the costumes now…

23. 1. I believe my very first costume was a clown (ugh), but the first one I remember was when I was four and dressed as Glinda the Good Witch. My mom made my poofy pink dress and my glittery cardboard tiara and wand. She dressed up along with me as Dorothy, down to the ruby slippers and braids. I don’t remember much about that Halloween, but I know I loved the costume.

    2. I’m at college right now, but in years past my neighborhood would be overrun with mobs of people. It’s in one of the nicer areas of town, so parents would drive their kids over and chauffeur them from house to house, clogging the streets with bumper-to-bumper cars. That always made me mad. We also have a lot of bored, destructive teenaged boys in our area so there are always plenty of eggings, pumpkin smashings, and sometimes broken car windows.

    3. That’s a hard question to answer, as there are so many types of delicious candy. I’d have to say that the best I have ever tasted, though, were the cheap chocolate bars I bought at a French grocery store. American chocolate just cannot compare.

24. 1. the first costume that i can recall was Captain Keith from Voltron.
    2. where i live now, there aren’t really any kids, plus i live in a semi-hidden apartment. but the kids where i lived before were bastards!
    3. not really big on chocolates or sweets, but i really like mallo cups.
    4. i have so many, as i love pranks…
    one that went horribly wrong though was when i was high school, i hid in the woods while my friend went to go pick up a mutual friend. when they got back, i snuck up on the car and pretended to abduct this girl from the car.
    needless to say, she didn’t find it very funny.

25. 1)I remember a Raggedy Ann plastic costume and mask that was HOT and sweaty. I think I was 4. I don’t remember any other costumes I ever had or Halloweens.
    2) We don’t get trick or treaters at my house, which is fine because we’re gone anyway. At my old house, I got a kid who drove his own car and had a goatee. He LOVED the skull rings I was passing out. In fact, the older kids were much more appreciative of them than some of the 10-12 year olds. Actually had one kid take a pass.
    3) Almond Joy – My daughter didn’t bring any home this year, but she did bring me my #2 – Milk Duds!
    4)”Borrowed” the clacker out of the victory bell at a rival school. We knew we were going to be beat that year. It was great watching them swing that bell and have nothing happen. They opposing fans proceeded to use a shoe to “ring” the bell. Definately not the effect they were hoping for! HA!!

26. 1. I was also a pumpkin, but being a natural redhead means that I didn’t need my hat.

    2. Not many trick or treaters at my house. Here at school we got three jokers, fifteen princesses, two batmans,
    a banana and a couple of tinkerbells with a smattering of more traditional costumes like ghosts and witches. They were all escorted through the halls, and we, by far, had the best decorated hallway.

    3. I’m a fan of just about anything chocolate, but Reese’s cups might be the ultimate object of my affection. When someone gives out Reese’s at Halloween, they truly care about giving out real candy, not jawbreakers and dum dums. The same is true for M & M’s.

    4. My freshman res room had beds that would pull out from underneath a bolster that doubled as storage space. My roommate and I had a friend over, and the friend was getting ready to leave. My roommate had to go to the restroom, so she left the room. Our friend looked at me and smiled, getting under my roommate’s bed, and pulling it in all the way to the wall.

    When my roommate came back, she assumed that our friend had left, and mumbled something about her leaving without saying good bye. She got into her bed, and I got into mine, trying SO hard not to laugh. Our friend let her lie there for a good ten minutes before she reached up from underneath and made her hand crawl like Thing on my roommate’s stomach. Needless to say, there was a giant shriek and a half an hour laugh-fest. Simple, but effective.

27. 1. First I can remember is Pebbles – flammable costume and sweaty mask too.

    2. We live in a condo complex, so a ton of kids, but this year we went to a friend’s complex. Lotta cats, spiderman,goth princesses. Last year it was all Dorothy or pirates.

    3. I actually like those nasty Halloween toffees! but I steal M&Ms from my kids’ bags. Just tried Almond Joy, and it’s pretty awesome.

    4. I live to prank all year long. Was changing baby and making a big loud deal over the stench… then crumpled up a clean diaper and chased older daughter’s friends around house, saying: “WANNA SEE???” Then I threw it at them. The screams were awesome. Also fun – remove the glue strip from magazine inserts and attach to nostril. Make a big deal about sneezing, then turn to kids with giant booger hanging out of nose. Threaten to rub it on them. Enjoy the screams. My best prank? Found mannequin hand and froze it, then, said to old boyfriend whilst we were sleeping at a friend’s: “Honey, hold my hand”. Screamed like a girl at cold dead hand. Got daughter last April Fools – boil egg, peel, put in a glass of milk. You can’t see it… but when you drink, there’s a big, cold, rubbery mass against your lips… yurk! I’m also big on the rubber cockroach/mice/spiders type of gag, and I keep a rubber egg in my fridge to throw at people when they ask for a snack. :-)
    Should I worry about my maturity at age 43?

28. My husband and I love halloween, however we’ve noticed each year more and more kids come without costumes. Now this I don’t mind when they’re young but this year I’d say about 35% of the kids who came to our door were either over 15 and not even remotely dressed up, or had more facial hair than my husband. At some point in the night we were even kidding about handing out job applications instead of candy. I think maybe next year we’ll be turning off the light and heading to a friend’s house for a party instead.

29. 2. This year my friends and I were getting ready to go to a party, and handing out candy at the same time. My house is 2 apartments, one on the top and mine is on the main floor – so to get to my apartment you have to walk in the foyer and then through my front doors. Usuually trick or treaters ring the doorbell and wait outside. But not all of them! All of a sudden the inside door bursts open, and a tiny little pumpkin runs through the door yelling “Happy Halloween!”
    Turns out, the adorable kid didn’t realize that she needed to wait for us to come to the door – she just wanted the candy, and thought she should go inside to get it :) When I brought her back outside, her parents were standing on the porch just laughing! Best halloween moment ever!

30. 1. Not sure what my very first costume was, but almost every year of my childhood, I dressed as a princess. Of course, this was the 70’s, so I had the plastic costume that tied in the back like a hospital gown, and the horrible painted mask with tiny eye and nose holes..

    2. We don’t get any here. Kiwis aren’t really into Halloween yet, and I live in a condo building anyway. In fact, ever since my late 20s I’ve lived in a building (with outside doors) of some sort – so no kids.

    3. Probably the “chunky” bar. They don’t have them here, though, so I”ve grown attached to the Crunchie bar.

    4. Ok, the prank wasn’t mine, and quite similar to one above. When I was in high school, lots of kids were into stealing porch dummies on Halloween night. So, my brother (who was VERY skinny) dressed up as a dummy, put a huge mask on his head, and slumped on the porch. I watched from the front window. Sure enough, a couple of young teenagers came up the walk saying “oh, cool! Look at him!” My brother waited until they were bent down and about to grab his arms, and jumped up and yelled. HA! I’ve never seen anyone run so quickly!!

31. 4. Sort-of a prank if you really stretch the definition.

    My 16 year old buddy wanted to go trick-or-treating. I knew there would be people who would consider us as too old. I figured that since I was the same height and weight as his 12 year old brother, I would hide my age by fully covering my head, goatee and body piercing with a ghoul mask. Sure enough, some crabby old lady sniped at Jimmy about being to old to trick-or-treat. She didn’t know it but the guy standing next to Jimmy was 33 years old.(haha)

32. Best prank I ever did was suggest to my friend that we “foil” his roommates bedroom while he was out of town. He agreed so the night before he got back we went and bought 12 rolls of aluminum foil and spent 4 1/2 hours wrapping every individual thing in his room in it. The only thing that wasn’t covered in foil was the floor. The pictures were great!

33. I’m not to big a prankster but the best was one I pulled a few years back with the help of my cousin. Early in that week my friend had been getting prank calls and phone messages from someone saying they were coming to get her/kill her/etc. I forgot the name the person gave but it was something like “Sally”. It really freaked her out but it turned out only to be a stupid little kid playing a trick. I was at work that weekend with my cousin and I was telling him about it. My friend was suppose to pick me up that night to go to a concert in San Francisco. My cousin came up with the idea that when my friend showed up, I would call my works phone from my cell phone in my pocket. He would answer the phone then come and in say “Zoe, it’s for you. It’s Sally.” Needless to say when we did it the look on her face was priceless.

34. My very 1st costume was the Pillsbury Dough Boy – my mom did the same thing for my sister when she was a baby too. I think I may do that when I have a kid too- funny and easy.
    I also distinctly remember being the Statue of Liberty when I was 5. It was the year it celebrated its 100th birthday. I had the foam crown and my mom died sheets green and made a torch out of a flashlight. I just remember hating the green makeup.

    As for candy, I love Nerds. I hoard them.
