Five questions asked over a glowing Jack o'Lantern, under an Autumn moon obscured by passing clouds...in between mouthfuls of candy corn...Sammy from Scooby Stole the Snacks leaves the Mystery Machine for a moment to talk about Halloween.
Why is Halloween important to you?
Halloween has always been the only time of the year where I could go out in a Scooby Doo outfit and not receive any weird looks from the general population. Also, it has been a great opportunity for my family, primarily my 8-year old brother, to actually have fun together. Plus, free candy! That's always a bonus. See, I go trick-r'-treating every year, and I just overall love that time of the year.
Describe your ideal Halloween.
My ideal Halloween? Well, honestly, I'm one of those simple people. My ideal Halloween would consist of it being on a weekend, so I wouldn't have to go to school. There would have to be homemade Halloween goodies, like my peppermint patty spiders and mummy hot dogs. My family and I would carve jack-o-lanterns in the morning, then relax and watch good old black and white movies, such as Bela Lugosi's Dracula. Then, we would go trick-'r-treating, and come home and indulge on all the free chocolate.
What Halloween collectibles do you cherish, or hate, or both?
I personally cherish my old glow in the dark plastic skeleton that I hang on my door every Halloween. It's cheap and simple, sure, but it's a classic. I don't particularly like those candy bowls that have the hand that grabs you when you reach into the bowl. It was creepy at first, but it's really getting old every year. I both hate/cherish those fake spiderwebs that you can hang on bushes, trees, etc. They're awesome looking, but just a pain in the butt to actually hang up.
When was your very first Halloween, the one where "you really knew" it was Halloween, and how was it?
The first Halloween I remember was the year I dressed up as a Hershey's Kiss. I must have been around 2-3 years old at the time. My mom handmade the costume and I was the cutest Hershey's Kiss ever. I don't quite remember how it was, but I'm sure it was enjoyable, since I was smiling in all the pictures my mom took of me that night.
