Halloween 2019: The ultimate guide
Halloween 2019: The ultimate guide
By Elizabeth Wolfe and Saeed Ahmed
Looking for your one-stop shop for everything Halloween? Well,
buckle up because you've hit the mother lode.
From costumes
and candy to controversy; here's all you could ever want to know this
Halloween.
Costumes
Should you
really wear that costume? Before you do anything, check in with our
handy interactive costume guide.
Or you can just
forgo making that decision and put a turkey on your head like Monica
from "Friends."
Candy always
makes sense, but why DO we dress up in costumes on Halloween?
No matter how
hard you try to top all the other costumes, this little boy with cerebral palsy has everybody beat. The tiny toddler's "Up" costume
brilliantly incorporates his medical equipment in one of the most adorable
outfits of the season.
On that note, if
you think your baby has the sweetest costume of them all ... they
don't. These NICU babies dressed up for Halloween are the epitome of
cute. Just try to look at an infant dressed like a mouse without it warming
your cold heart.
Still, we can't
help but appreciate this boy's wheelchair-friendly costumes.
Candy
Not quite sure
of the proper etiquette for trick-or-treating? We've got you
covered on that, too.
Those looking
for a crowd-pleasing candy to pass out on Halloween should pick up a hefty bag
of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. A new poll revealed that they're America's
favorite candy.
Trick-or-treaters
aren't the only ones prepping for Halloween. This candy company has
been gearing up for months for their biggest sales season.
But what about
those rumors of razor-filled apples and poisoned candy? Wait a second. It
might just be a bunch of rumors.
While sabotaged
candies may not be something to worry about, there are certainly many other
hazards to watch out for. After all, Halloween can be a deadly day for
some kids and a risky one for adults.
We'll get into
the controversy of Halloween a bit later, but we'd be remiss if we didn't
mention an argument for the ages. Is candy corn good? Or does it taste like a
dusty clump of sugar your grandmother just pulled out of her pocket? There are
a few commentators at CNN who have gone head-to-head in the great candy
corn debate.
Movies
You may have
been binging on spooky movies all month, but just in case you need a few more,
here are some scary good movie recommendations.
Not into being
scared senseless? There's always "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie
Brown!"
Some people
think Halloween should be moved to the last Saturday of October, going so far
as to start a petition. Some towns considered it this year because of
weather.
