   Halloween is a holiday that almost every kid loves. They love it for all sorts of reasons.

   They love it for the candy, costumes, decorations, haunted houses, caramel apples, pumpkin carvings, etc. It is a really good day for everyone.

   There is nothing better than getting a good scare for one day. Everyone loves to be scared!

   People go all over the place just to get free candy; there is nothing better than something for free! They also walk so much for all of this candy.

   “I love Halloween for the decorations and haunted houses,” said Hannah Woodruff (’15). She loves getting a good scare and seeing all of the houses decorated for the holiday.

   Woodruff goes trick-or-treating in all of the subdivisions. “It is fun and it’s the time of the month that you get to mess around and scare people,” said Woodruff.

   The best part would be seeing all of the costumes everyone dresses up in. Woodruff’s costume is different every year because she likes variety.

“I love Halloween because of the free candy,” said Kasey Nuss (’15). There is nothing better than all of the free candy that you get.

   She likes to stay home instead of going out trick-or-treating. She can still get free candy from all of her friends that go out.

   For Halloween, Nuss likes dressing up and getting scared. She also loves to decorate for the holiday.

   It seems to be that everyone’s favorite part of Halloween is getting scared and all of the candy they get. That is one of the best parts about Halloween.

  Halloween is a chance for all of the kids to get super happy when you hand them candy. For them, it is probably the most candy they will have that year.

   It is really fun to scare someone and to be scared. “I hate haunted houses with a passion,” said Riley Snowden (’15).

   Snowden hates to be scared and will not go to a haunted house by herself. She does not like the feeling of someone else scaring her. “I absolutely love the candy and I could eat it all day!” said Snowden.
