@Titian06 I need a black cat in my life. 

[Titian06]

Yes, you need more cats, @Samtian ! 🤣

[CorgiMommy]

@Titian06 I too love a black cat 

[Titian06]

I always wanted a black cat after having an all white cat, @CorgiMommy .  The dream lives! 🐈‍⬛

[peculiarzmakeup]

Loved reading these! I looked up at that car it’s super neat! 

I found this picture 

I love everyone’s answers this is so fun 🙂 @Titian06 

[Titian06]

Thanks, @peculiarzmakeup !  That's probably a Sunbird; it's not a Sunfire.

Oops, I missed yesterday - so 4 bonus questions today!

Red or green apples? Green! Granny Smiths are my favorite! I love to eat them plain, or sliced and dipped in peanut butter.

Pull over sweaters or cardigans? I like both - can't go wrong with a nice cute & cozy sweater! But I would probably have to say cardigans, I have quite a few!

Best part of a witch's wardrobe? Cape or cloak! I would love an excuse to wear one of those, that would be so cool.

Skull decor - sound off! It's not my thing personally, but some of them can be kind of cool, I will admit.

[peculiarzmakeup]

@caitbird  Green apples and peanutbutter sound fabulous together! I just read cape and pictured a cape with pockets on the inside for makeup 🎃 these are all so fun ❤️ 

[caitbird]

@peculiarzmakeup  it's a great healthy snack! And I love that idea, capes should definitely have pockets!

[CorgiMommy]

@caitbird capes are underrated 

[caitbird]

@CorgiMommy  you are absolutely right, we need to bring back capes!

[Samtian]

Can't wait!

Did anyone ever play a Halloween trick on you? No, I would have been the trickster. 

Craziest thing you ever received trick or treating? Nothing crazy. But every year people are handing out "drugs". Same with at our parades 🙄. They aren't. 

If you could trunk or treat with any car, what would it be? I wouldn't. I detest trunk or treating, it has almost completely killed Halloween and trick or treating in my area. 

Milk chocolate or dark chocolate? Darkity dark dark dark. 

Red or green apples? Both. But Green over Red. 

Pull over sweaters or cardigans? Also both. 

Best part of a witch's wardrobe? Boots and cloak. 

Skull decor - sound off! I love it! Though not a big fan of the animal themed ones. 

[CynthieLu]

Did anyone ever play a Halloween trick on you? No, I would have been the trickster. 

So I have a reverse question for you @Samtian.  Have you every played a Halloween trick on anyone? 👻😉

[Samtian]

@CynthieLu Oh I did and it was horrible! As in I'm a horrible person. My cousin was living with us at the time, I'm in high school or jr high (she's a few years younger.) She slept on the couch. I has this horrible disfigured face mask on. I pretended to make sure the front door was locked, of course I unlocked it. The door opens upright into the front room where she was staying. I snuck to my brothers room and out his window. Came in the front door on all fours breathing very heavy. She actually thought she was going to die. I was a very mean person lol. 20 years later she still remembers it. If you call it a trick, more like a scary prank? 

[CynthieLu]

That's a prank I hope you all can laugh at now. @Samtian I can picture this as something my brother would have tried on me and my sister's.🤣

That's a spooky one. You must be a family legend!

[CorgiMommy]

@Samtian love your answers

[peculiarzmakeup]

Loved reading these! I love how everyone’s answers are so uniquez it’s fun to here of the experiences ❤️🎃 @Samtian 

[Samtian]

@peculiarzmakeup It is so much fun reading other's answers!

[Mel231]

Craziest thing you ever received trick-or-treating:   A can of 7-UP.

The homeowner had forgotten it was Haloween, so he was handing out cans of soda. He had several different kinds to choose from.

[peculiarzmakeup]

Wow that is a wild one, another one is when people just leave the whole bowl out and pretend there not home 😂 @Mel231 

[CorgiMommy]

In my neighborhood it would be hard to forget it is Halloween but a can of soda would be a fun treat
