BIC's 2023 Countdown to Halloween Thread!!!

[greeneyedgirl107]

Last year I started this late, so I figured that this year I'd start early!  Feel free to post about all things fall, Halloween, beauty and everything in between.  Answer as many or as few prompts as you'd like, and know that you're encouraged to add your own ideas as well!

This officially starts October 1.  But if you just can't wait then, here are some prompts: Ideas to kick off fall?  Any superstitions?  Favorite things about pumpkins?  Mars or Hershey's brand candy?  Ways to keep your spirits up as the season changes?  Creepy things that you enjoy?  Halloween  nail ideas?  What colors compliment orange and black?  How have you noticed Halloween changing over time?  Any cocktails or mock-tails that sound interesting?  Favorite sounds of the season?  Are you into the Hocus-Pocus movie mania?  Best baked goods?

October 2: Top three candies to have in your trick or treat bag...and bottom three.

October 2: Top three candies to have in your trick or treat bag...and bottom three.  (In no particular order.)  I went trick or treating once and gave all my candy except for the Tootsie Rolls to my brother.  I also like butterscotch hard candies, and, yes, Candy Corn.  Red Hots are at the bottom, along with gummi worms, and chewing gum.
