To get in the spirit of this beloved holiday, the Flyer News staff decided to share their top Halloween memories - from iconic costumes to the best candy finds. Let's dive into our spooky childhood memories, and get ready for some nostalgic fun!

Costume Chronicles: A Blast from the Past

1. The Classic: The Ghostbuster

"Who ya gonna call?" Remember those iconic jumpsuits and proton packs? My friend and I went as Ghostbusters one year, and we felt like we were really saving the world from ghosts! We spent the whole night chasing after other kids, pretending to zap them with our proton packs. It was pure Halloween magic! - Sarah, Flyer News Editor

2. The Creative: The Walking Dead Zombie

"Being a zombie was a childhood dream come true! My mom went all out with the makeup and ripped clothing, and I felt like I was straight out of The Walking Dead. I even carried a fake severed hand around, which definitely scared a few people! It was the perfect costume for a spooky Halloween night." - Alex, Flyer News Writer

3. The Adorable: The Little Mermaid

"I was obsessed with The Little Mermaid as a kid, so when I got to dress up as Ariel for Halloween, I was over the moon! My mom even made me a sparkly seashell bra and tail. It was the ultimate princess costume for a magical night of trick-or-treating!" - Maya, Flyer News Graphic Designer

Sweetest Treats: Candy We Craved

1. The OG: Candy Corn

"Nostalgia overload! Candy corn is the quintessential Halloween candy. I always loved its sweet, creamy taste, and the vibrant colors just screamed Halloween. Plus, it's a fun treat to share with friends." - David, Flyer News Photographer

2. The Chocolate Delight: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

"Reese's Peanut Butter Cups? Need I say more? The perfect combination of creamy peanut butter and rich chocolate is unbeatable. I remember eagerly looking for those iconic orange wrappers in my candy bag." - Katie, Flyer News Social Media Manager

3. The Gummy Delight: Gummy Worms

"Gummy worms were my ultimate Halloween candy. The squiggly, chewy texture was so fun, and they came in all sorts of colors and flavors. I always ended up with a handful, and they were the perfect way to end a night of trick-or-treating!" - Ryan, Flyer News Intern
