Our Favorite Thing About Halloween Isn’t the Costumes

What’s your favorite thing about Halloween?  If you said the costumes, you’re completely out of touch.  A new poll just in time for Halloween found that dressing up is NOT our favorite thing about it.  We really just want that sweet, sweet chocolate.

Eating candy is the #1 thing we love about Halloween.  Here’s how America voted . . .

1.  Eating candy.  20% say it’s their favorite thing about Halloween.

2.  Dressing up, 14%

3.  Trick-or-treating, 14%

4.  The decorations, 13%

5.  The parties, 12%

6.  Haunted houses, 9%.  That’s way up from a few years ago when just 4% said it was their favorite thing.

7.  Carving pumpkins, 5%

The remaining 13% said something else.  So, things like haunted hayrides and scary movies.

(Speaking of scary movies, someone asked Reddit:  For $1 million, would you be locked inside a store overnight with Michael Myers?  And if so, how would you survive?  Best answer:  Just don’t slip and fall while running away, like everyone in those movies.  This other question is fun too.)
