Candy corn is a little piece of tri-colored candy made to look like corn. It was revolutionary when it was created for the simple fact that it was tri-colored.

One of the all-time classic Halloween films, in my opinion at least.

"Hocus Pocus" starred Bette Midler, Kathy Najami, and Sarah Jessica Parker as three witches come back from the dead after 300 years.

6. In the US, what three-word phrase do kids traditionally say to people at Halloween time in the hope of receiving candy?

Answer: Trick or Treat

The saying "Trick or Treat" implies that a treat must be provided or else a trick will be played on whoever didn't supply the treat.

7. Which of these animals is considered a bad omen around Halloween?

Answer: Bat

Bats are traditionally the bad omen of this particular group...but, I don't know...a cockroach running around my house would sure scare me!

8. Which of these sings "Monster Mash"?

Answer: Bobby Pickett

This song is definitely a favorite at Halloween parties!

9. What phase of moon supposedly makes people act crazier and causes humans to turn into werewolves?

Answer: Full moon

I have no idea where this fable originated but it's a fun excuse to act crazy!

10. True or false: Halloween grew from evil practices.

Answer: False

Even though some evil-like people have adopted it as their favorite holiday, it did NOT come from an evil practice. It really grew from Celts celebrating a new year. The day itself is only as evil as one wants to make it out to be. Hope you enjoyed my quiz and Happy Halloween everyone!
