Halloween Plans: Probably going to catsit for my neighbor’s cats. I may also program for a game I am working on.
Favorite Candy: Reese’s because I like peanut butter.
Halloween Costume: Probably not. As myself, I guess?
Favorite Scary Movie: Does “Toy Story 3” count? There is a scene where they are burning alive. Actually, I’ll go with “Silence of the Lambs.”
Have You Ever Seen a Ghost or Had Any Particularly Spooky Experiences?: My mom’s house was haunted. We stayed there and my brother saw my grandmother’s ghost.

Halloween Plans: My daughter and I are going to scene 75.
Favorite Candy: Snickers. My mom didn’t let me have candy, so Halloween was the only time I had snickers.
Halloween Costume: My daughter is going as a scary cat lady. I am going to wear whiskers, so I will be her cat.

Have You Ever Seen a Ghost or Had Any Particularly Spooky Experiences?: Yes. When I used to live in Clinton there was this old street car thing and I definitely thought there were ghosts there
