@Titian06 I agree, I don't like the creepy/blood-and-guts aspect of Halloween, either. Give me all the cute black cats and bats and pumpkins! 😻🦇🎃

Yay!!! 🎉 @greeneyedgirl107  thank you for starting this thread, I always look forward to your countdown threads - so much fun! I'm going to try to answer a few of these prompts every day from now until November 1st.

10/1: What Halloween character needs their own spin-off or origins story? I love the movie Hocus Pocus, and I know they came out with a sequel a few years ago (which I still haven't seen), but I think a prequel with the Sanderson sisters as (weird, terrible) kids would be fun!

10/2: If you were a witch, what EDT would you wear? Hmm 🤔 maybe Charlotte Tilbury Magic Energy Eau de Parfum 3.4 oz eau de parfum spray ? It gave me kind of forest witch vibes when I tried the sample from the discovery set.

10/3: Best accompaniment to milk chocolate? peanut butter! or caramel...or nuts...or toffee...lol 🤤

10/4: Best non-chocolate Halloween candy? Hmm, I definitely like chocolate best, but I do enjoy Sour Patch Kids once in a while.

Corn mazes or hayrides? I've never done either, but I think I'd enjoy a hay ride. Especially on a nice, beautiful sunny, crisp fall day!

🎃🦇👻
