Halloween

It's that time of year when I'm craving caramel apples. I know I can get some at Country Mercantile north of Pasco (and I'm going there this weekend, as a matter of fact) but it's kind of far. Anywhere else closer to Tri-Cities?

Halloween is just around the corner and if you have a daughter like me I am sure you have been looking for an Elsa costume from the movie "Frozen." Earlier this year they were crazy expensive but you can order one now for a pretty reasonable price. Here is a list of the most affordable Elsa costumes I could find and one that is more expensive but worth it!

Bill Moseley has acted in over 100 horror films and counting including "Night of the Living Dead," "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2," "Army of Darkness," "House of 1000 Corpses," "The Devil's Rejects," "Grindhouse," the "Halloween" remake and more! He's a graduate of Yale University and worked for a time as a journalist before acting.

We named her Cicely. A friend was getting rid of her and I just couldn't say no. But my son HATES her!

Later this month a movie comes out about Ouija Boards. Based on my upbringing, I don't touch those things. What about you? Some people think it's a fun party game. I think they sell them at Toys R' Us and Target. Just curious, how many of you out there think it's a game and how many of you think it's occult?

It's time to buy your Halloween candy before the stores start gouging you on price. We did a survey asking about the most popular candy and you'll be pleasantly surprised some of it is cheap!

We asked you what movie MESSED YOU UP as a kid. Not the best scary movie you saw as a kid, but the one you SHOULD NOT HAVE SEEN! It gave you nightmares. You peed the bed. You had phobias for years. Here's what you said:

What scary movie did you see as a kid that messed you up? That made you pee the bed or develop phobias that lasted years? Not the "scariest" movie you saw, but the one you saw too young that ruined your childhood.

There is no "right way" to bake pumpkin seeds. Each method has pros and cons so you'll have to settle on what works for you. Personally, I hate chewy shells so I like recipes that crisp them. Once they're baked some like sweet seasoning, others prefer savory. So here are the best tips -- you decide which is correct for you.

I was a pillowcase kid. I would hit certain neighborhoods in Spokane and come home with my sack full! What do your kids use? Or what did you use? I see so many of the orange plastic pumpkins, but those fill up fast!

The candy I most hoped for as a kid was Hershey Mounds (you know, chocolate and coconut)! What was yours? Answer the survey and we'll publish the results. HOPEFULLY that will inform your buying decisions this month as you stock up for the big night!

Today I learned there's a school district in London, Canada (half way between Detroit and Toronto) that banned Halloween and replaced it with "Orange & Black Day" -- not everyone is pleased with the compromise.
