Bonus points:

Did anyone ever play a Halloween trick on you?  Not that I remember.

Craziest thing you ever received trick or treating?  I only went trick or treating once and don't remember receiving anything crazy.

If you could trunk or treat with any car, what would it be?  I loved my Pontiac Sunfire and still miss it all these years later.

Milk chocolate or dark chocolate?  Dark; the darker, the better.

Red or green apples?  I like Pink Lady and Granny Smith, so both?

Pull over sweaters or cardigans?  Cardigans.

Best part of a witch's wardrobe?  The black cat!

Skull decor - sound off!  Don't care for it.

[Samtian]

@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.
