Costumes That Haunt Our Memories
1. The All-American Classic:
Erin, our Editor-in-Chief: "I was a classic witch for years. I loved the pointy hat, the black dress, and the broomstick. My mom even made me a little cauldron to carry!"
2. The Superheroes We Adored:
Jake, our Senior Writer: "I was obsessed with Batman for a few years. I had a full-on Batman costume with the cape, the mask, the utility belt – the whole shebang! It was the coolest thing."
3. The Creative Choices:
Sarah, our Graphic Designer: "I had a period where I went through a lot of different homemade costumes. One year I was a rainbow, another year I was a fruit salad. My parents were really into the arts and crafts!"
4. The "Too Cool for School" Costume:
Michael, our Social Media Manager: "I was a zombie for a few years. I just loved the whole spooky and grungy vibe. I got a lot of compliments for the effort I put into the makeup!"
Candy That Still Makes Us Drool
1. The Classic Candy Corn:
Erin: "I'll never forget that sweet, almost artificial taste of candy corn. It's like Halloween in a bite!"
2. The Chocolate Dream:
Jake: "I was a sucker for anything chocolate. Kit Kats, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, you name it! That chocolatey goodness just got me in the Halloween mood."
3. The Unexpected Delights:
Sarah: "I always loved those little packs of Skittles. The mix of fruity flavors was just so fun!"
4. The Old School Favorite:
Michael: "I gotta go with the classic Snickers bar. It's simple, it's satisfying, and it always hits the spot."

Everyone: "We all agree, Mary Janes were a staple! And don't forget Black Jacks!"
