Did you get up on the right side of the coffin this morning, my fiend? Do you feel well-rested and ready to haunt? I hope your fangs and claws look sharp.

Dominique Smith says
Yeah I’ve seen a ghost, I see a ghost every time I look in the mirror, *sigh* the ghost is my face in the morning. Everyday is Halloween in my house.
Fran says
Yes, I’ve carved plenty of pumpkins, and it’s fun! (Those pumpkin-carving kits with the tiny saws are a big help.) But, one year when my son was very young (maybe 3 or 4), someone stole our pumpkin off our porch on Halloween afternoon, before we could carve it. He was beside himself when we got home and it was gone. I went out to get another one, and there were none left in any of the stores in our area. So I bought a big, ulgy, warty-looking Hubbard squash, figuring that that would make a really scary Jack’o’lantern. Well, let me tell you, carving that thing was a bear! Way harder than any pumpkin I’ve ever met! But, it did look pretty cool when I was done…
Sophia says
My favourite halloween costume was in grade 5 and I was a blue crayon. Not one of those skin tight dresses but i had two wood rings one around my shoulders and one around my legs, I was draped in blue material and couldn’t walk very fast. I also had a point blue hat that made me look ridiculous. I love Halloween!!
Joselyn Hernandez says
Happy Halloween!!
I’m not much into the Halloween spirit, but did carve a pumpkin this year 🙂
Bridget says
I LOVE candy corn. I actually bought a bag the other day while I was out with my friend Kim. As I was carrying it around she was yelling at me the entire time about how disgusting candy corn is! It’s funny how people have such strong feelings about candy corn. It seems to be you either love it or hate it. No in between. Perhaps I will eat some right now . . . nom.
Laura says
Happy Halloween!
We got lost on the wook due to a dense fog two years ago! It was scary, but funny (not too lost, fortunately). My dog found the way.
Today is good day to get lost in the woods, we have a foggy Halloween day. Good!
Laura
Ellen says
I love carving pumpkins – I wish I had time to do it this year!
Hazel says
The scareist movie I ever saw was “The Exorcist”, I was a teenager when it first came out. If no one had ever told me it was loosely based on a true story of a young boy, I would have just viewed it as another typical Hollywood scary movie. It was the first time the concept of true evil became real to me. I haven’t been able to watch scarry movies the same again. Now as for candy corn and pumpkins I love them, I love carving pumpkins with the kids, decorating the house, making popcorn balls and hot apple cider! I love the changing Autumn colors, wearing sweaters and mittens..
Sandy P says
Hazel, I am so with you on The Exorcist!! We must be kindred spirits as I love candy corn and carving pumpkins too. Here in Michigan it really is a dark and stormy night tonight!
Jennifer Salazar says

•Have you ever been lost in the
1. I HATE candy corn
2. I can’t recall if I’ve ever carved a pumpkin, if I have, it wasn’t memorable.
3. I’m a scaredy cat, so none.
4. Yes. I have. Several times.
5. Scariest movie at the time, 13 ghosts.
6. Never been lost in a maze.
Sandra Adeyemi says
Oh yes, the scariest movie I have watched is choke. I watched when I was in primary school on Halloween. I was so scared I cuddled up with my sister, we put the lights out so you can imagine.Didn’t even finish it because we were soo scared.
Nicole says
Candy corn is probably my least favorite candy on earth, besides those candies wrapped in black and orange, I used to cry when I got them in my trick or treat bag as a kid…happy Halloween
Sandra Adeyemi says
I meant to say chokie the doll
Kiss & Make-up says
Happy Halloween, Karen! I don’t feel anything about candy corn, as I’ve never had it…
Jamie says
I absolutely hate candy corn with a burning passion. Also, the scariest movie I’ve ever seen is Child’s Play 2. I first watched Child’s Play when I was 3, and I’ve been terrified of Chucky ever since (I’m 29 now) So tonight, I’m gonna do some cute spiderweb makeup, get pizza, candy and mountain dew and watch Child’s Play 2!
Eileen says
I love candy corn! I allow myself to eat one bag a year.
Agata says
Have a spooctacular Halloween, Karen!
My Halloween party was fun last night and my Princess Peach costume turned out really good with my self crafted accessories 🙂
Rachel R. says
Happy Halloween!? ? I’ve carved many pumpkins. I love to roast the pumpkin seeds when I’m done.
Oh, and I’ll get my hubby’s banana bread recipe this weekend and send it to you.
Bridget says
1. I have tiles of candy corn as my current work desktop. I think this well speaks to my official position on candy corn.
2. I’m planning on getting my carving’ on tonight, actually! I used to carve a pumpkin every fall, now it seems to have waned to every other year or so, but I always go the traditional route: triangles for eyes and nose, and a toothy grin.
3. Haunted Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia
4. No, but I’ve always wanted to meet Lincoln’s ghost.
5. The Ring. Hands down. Also, I have a completely irrational fear of any figure with a robe that hides its face, so, yes, the Scream movies scared me.
Scariest movie you’ve ever seen?
6. I almost got lost in the jungle in Laos looking for a cave once. Does that count?
Kalli Melia says
I have a small pumpkin (just right for carving) in the kitchen, but where I am, we don’t celebrate Halloween. That pumpkin will become my first try for pumpkin pie from scratch!
Kim T. says
Just saw The Conjuring last night. It wasn’t as scary as I was expecting, but nonetheless very entertaining! Thank you for this giveaway! Happy Halloween (:
Chelsea says
My parents live in the middle of the woods, on about 15 acres or so, so I’ve gotten a bit lost out there, but not too bad. Bears don’t really come out until nighttime anyway! They actually filmed an episode of Finding Bigfoot in my hometown.
Janetta Dancer says
I love Candy corn, especially the candy apple ones! …no one I know does.
Happy Halloween everyone!!!

Melissa Hays says
the Exorcist maybe? However I actually had to leave the theater when I went to see Cape Fear
RM says
I bought a Daenerys costume!
Sarah says
My favorite haunted house – I volunteered at a low income housing community center last year. We made a complete haunted house maze for all the kids. I was a witch at that very end that jumped around the door and cackled at the kids. It was so much fun to be behind the scenes! But I did ruin my pedicure completely by the children stepping on my witch boots.
Ashley says
I hate candy corn! My favorite Halloween candy is Reese’s peanut butter cups! Kit Kat is a close second 🙂
Icequeen81 says
How do you feel about candy corn?
well yesterday I went to the grocery store and candy corn was sold I Panicked .
Today I went to another store to find it . I tried the one with chocolate today, that one is meeehh I prefer the normal candy corn

I think The Shining is the scariest movie but that creepy dead girl from The Ring is the absolute most terrifying thing ever!
MeaganS says
Happy Halloween!
Anna T. says
I like candy corn, but don’t love it. I’ll eat it if it’s in my face. ?

Candy corn never did much for me, but bring on the M&M’s please!

The scariest movie ever is The Exorcist! I can barely watch the scenes where they show her face. :-O
latanya says
I love candy corn
Ashleigh says
Yes, my little sister and I got lost in the woods when we went on a family camping trip in Alaska. Luckily, we somehow stumbled onto another campsite a couple of miles away instead of stumbling into the other direction, which was wilderness for miles on end. Quite scary, and I don’t think 10-year-old me really quite grasped the gravity of that at the time!
Lisa Brown says
I have never seen a ghost.
Jill says
Just handing out candy to the (maybe 10) trick or treaters we’ll get… And baking a cake for a birthday tomm. Apple spice with caramel frosting! Here’s hoping I don’t eat all the leftover candy! … Or cake!
Debora covasa says
The conjuring: the scarriest horror movie ever for me.
Yes i have been lost in a small wood and it was the scarriest experience of my life. Everything comes to life and wants to eat you lol..
Aileen says
Best haunted house is the hotel in The Shining, obvi! Happy Halloween!
Terri says
Happy Halloween! I hope you, El Hub, and Tabs are having a good one!
I’ll be handing out candy and making soup this evening.
Aarti says
No candy corn for me! Bring on the chocolate and other gummy candy 🙂

I don’t know anyone who eats candy corn. I believe they stopped making those since 1984 and have just been rotated the same batch around every Halloween lol
Laurinha says
Hi Karen!

Happy Halloween!! Candy corn is nasty. That is all. Lol

nicolthepickle says
I actually like Candy corn. I hadn’t tried it until I was an adult and it surprised me.
Meg says
I will nibble on candy corn, but it’s definitely not my favorite. My grandma loves it though! lol
Kecia S. says
I like candy corn, but I eat each color individually.
The scariest movie I’ve ever seen is “The Serpent & the Rainbow.” All that voodoo stuff really messed with my head. Of course, sitting on the floor in the dark while watching it certainly didn’t help!
Denise S says
I’ve never watched a scary movie. I’ve tried a couple of times, but I never saw one all the way through. I just don’t like being scared.
Kim Pincombe Cole says
I like candy corn! I think it’s best when mixed with peanuts – the salty sweet mix is really good!
Happy Halloween!
Deanna says
I love candy corn!
Michelle L says
Scariest movie I’ve ever seen? Nightmare on elm street.

Sara says
Yes! I’ve carved pumpkins before but they looked terrible haha.
Maria T says
Never tasted candy corn!! And never been lost in the woods, they are too scary to take a chance of getting lost in them..
Tatiana says
Hate candy corn. When it comes to sweets, it’s rarely worth ingesting unless it’s chocolate.
I’ve carved a few pumpkin in my days. Nothing spectacular. This year I left the pumpkins whole on the front porch and the neighborhood wild life started gnawing on them a few days ago, so I had to bring them inside. I’ll put them out again later this afternoon.
Hope you have a fun Halloween. Don’t eat too much candy, we don’t want baby girl to get a tummy ache. 😉
Erica says
Happy halloween! don’t really care for candy corn. :/
Judyo says
Lost….not in the woods, but in a huge dark Chicago parking lot, and I cried
Mary W says
I hope you are enjoying your Halloween as a pregnant person. Next year you will have a new baby and Halloween will be so much fun for you all! Keep us posted!
LindaLibraLoca says

None of the above.
I never had candy corn.
I never carved a pumpkin.
I have never entered a haunted house.
I have never seen a ghost.
I don’t watch scary movies (Zombieland gave me nightmares)
I have never been lost in the woods.
Happy Halloween, Karen!
Yelena says
i carved up a pumpkin just for the seeds so i can roast them and crack them.
Nicole - Beyond the Pale and Freckled says
I’m appreciating the last year that the munchkin is blissfully unaware of candy and trick or treating, hah! Hoping we get at least a couple kiddos trick or treating at the house this year, last year was a total bust!
Heather ツ (@aitch77) says
Good health and Good luck with the remainder of your pregnancy!!
Lynda says
happy halloween!!
Susan P. says
I have been lost while traveling but never lost in the woods. My reply this year, to the question, What will you be this year for Halloween, is gone!
Krystle says
We paint pumpkins instead of carving them, which is pretty fun!
Rachel says
I only have carved pumpkins one time – I didn’t realize how acidic pumpkins were! I did two Nightmare Before Christmas themed pumpkins (one Oogie Boogie, one Jack) and by the time I had finished, my hands were burning and cracking from all the enzymes in the pumpkin flesh! I had fun with the carving, but my hands were in terrible shape for a couple weeks afterwards. I bought pumpkins a few more times with plans to carve, but then I remembered all the irritation and burning and ended up leaving them on the front step. Of course, I forgot to pitch them after Halloween and they ended up rotting on the step too. My husband has now banned me from buying pumpkins!! >.<
Remi says
I put one of my cats in a costume today, and the other cat made fun of her.
Shell says
I’m such a wuss…no haunted houses for me! I’m even too scared for most scary movies. Sad, huh? But I love Halloween, because I LOVE seeing all the little kids dress up! So adorable! Happy Halloween!! ? ?
BooBooNinja says
Candy corn is one of those things I associate with tv and movies — like it’s a fake candy, or a prop. I have no desire to try it.
Maddie says
I love candy corn and anything milk chocolate.
Lynn T. says
Yes, I carved pumpkins before… and even wont a pumpkin carving contest with my house mate during college! But we suspect that no else entered because it was help by our school newspaper.
Lynn says
Happy Halloween! I just started to appreciate candy corn in the last five years. It didn’t do anything for me as a child. the little gobbling a are suppose to start coming ’round in 3 minutes. So rainy here it will probably be a bust and I will be left with too much.
Trillina Palemi says
Candy corn is a last resort
Cindy says
Candy corn is fun!
Tiffany says
Happy Halloween! I carved a pumpkin last night like Jareth from Labyrinth. It was fab!
Deb says
I love candy corn! And everything sweet actually! 🙂
Lily Heng says
Yes, I’ve carved a pumpkin before. I need to strengthen my forearms because I struggle with it!
Also, I hate candy corn! Way too sweet for me! However, I’ve found that if you melt it down and add some heavy whipping cream…it’s makes for a tasty caramel sauce. 😉
Lisa Foster says
I’ve been lost in the woods, but at least I was with my dog, a friend and her dog, not by myself. We were following a map hiking and got lost, ended up walking about 20 miles in a big loop before we made it back to our cars. The dogs were real troopers about the whole thing, I think they had a grand time while we were stressing out.
Susan Christy says
I love candy corn and pumpkin carving!
Shelley says
I love my sugar but candy corn is a no for me. Even the exotic kinds.
Pam says
Karen, when you were younger did you ever play with a Ouija board? My boyfriend and I were talking about this weekend and I recalled that my brother and some of his friends burned one on my parents property. Isn’t that supposed to be bad luck? haha
Emily says
I used to like candy corn as a child, but my son has multiple, life-threatening food allergies, so Halloween has taken a whole new meaning for our family now.
Neshii S says
This Halloween I spent at work which was nottttt fun, but seeing this Giveaway made my evening much better when I got home! :))
Jan says
I loooove candy corn! I’m an elementary science teacher so whenever the week of Halloween comes around I plan a lab where we use Halloween candy checking the density, conductivity, measure it, measure its mass, etc. The kids love it.
I’ve never carved a pumpkin but I think I paint one for Thanksgiving! I grew up on a huge ranch that was very heavily wooded so I’ve never really been lost in the woods.
Scariest movie I ever saw was called The Entity when I was little. Still freaks me out.
Stephanie says
Not a fan of candy corn, but candy corn M&M’s are another story.
Justine says
I’m more likely to get lost in a store than in the woods!
Jennifer says
Every year I help carve pumpkins with my kids!
Georgia L says
I def prefer the pumpkin candies to candy corn!
Dawn says
Candy corn is yummy for about 5 pieces. After that, it’s just too much.

Oh I did see a ghost once in my balcony, she was young, a hazy cloud like appearance and she smiled at me, I just shut the door,ran back to my bed and crawled in. Scariest ever for me!!
Amy Z. says
I don’t like candy corn. I love Snickers minis however 🙂

Scariest movie: The Exorcist…..Evil is real.
Jennifer Salazar says
Eugh…. I hate candy corn!!!
Johnna Quick Owens says
I really dislike candy corn, think it isn’t actually much of a candy, and yet if it is sitting on my desk in a bowl, I will realize at some point that I have been shoveling it into my mouth while working. See, not a good candy!
Vickylacewigs says
I think candy corn is extremely pretty to look at, but not so great when it comes to eating it 🙂
Lori P says
Don’t like candy corn and I don’t think I ever will. Since I have type 2 diabetes, it’s easy to say no to that. Now chocolate is another thing…
Lee says
Halloween was great this year! One son was Darth Vader and the other was Obi-wan Kenobi! I handed out candy as Sailor Mercury. Fun! Your orange and black lipstick graphic is so clever! Happy Halloween!
Hollie says
I can’t stand to even look at candy corn. I was sick my entire first pregnancy and I can remember how just looking at it pushed me over the edge ( tator tots too) the scariest haunted house I’ve been too was a haunted hayride/corn maze. Never again!! I wanted to cry but I was in high school with my friends. I’ve never seen a ghost but I would love to, but not if I’m alone!!!
Olivia M says
The best way to eat candy corn is by throwing it away
Frosty says
How do you feel about candy corn?
I used to love it but don’t much care for sugar sweets anymore. I’m all about the dark chocolate now!
Have you ever carved a pumpkin before?
Yes and unless you are carving pumpkins with little ones, it’s overrated imnsho!
Scariest movie you’ve ever seen?
Blair Witch Project and The 4th Kind . . .both were haunting and bothered me for days. I don’t watch scary movies much anymore because I get so scared.
Have you ever been lost in the woods?
No thank God!
Kiki says
I don’t even know why someone had to invent the candycorn
Daisy says
I went out trick or treating tonight with my baby sister. And daaanng, some of my neighbors go all out with their decorations! I’ve seen animated dancing halloween decorations to intricately decorated jack o lanterns. They make Halloween magical!
CL says
How do you feel about candy corn?
I like it a lot. It astonishes me that there are people who don’t like it.
Have you ever carved a pumpkin before?
Yes, both real and artificial ones.
Best haunted house?
Wouldn’t know, I’m not interested in that.
Have you ever seen a ghost?
No; I don’t believe in them.
Scariest movie you’ve ever seen?
Not a fan of scary movies. Probably a tie between the original “Psycho” and the original “Poltergeist.”
Have you ever been lost in the woods?
No; I’ve never lived near woods.
Maria says
I wanted to love candy corn but it’s the worst
Dana says
I do love candy corn but those pumpkin candies are even more delish 🙂
Tania G says
This was the first year that I carved a pumpkin. It wasn’t as bad as I thought. Will be doing it again next year for sure. Happy Halloween!
Emily C says
I’ve never had candy corn… it looks gross!

Candy corn + peanuts = yummy!!
LaureN says
I feel like every time I carve a pumpkin, the squirrels get it so I gave up
aatcis says
working as a night shift nurse, makes halloween cute 🙂 coz spooky stuff really happen in the hospital at 3am!
Susan Parker says
Candy Corn…the mere thought of it makes me grind my teeth, the flavor makes me go green and the scent makes me want to hurl. In other words, I can’t stand that cr@p!
Hilary says
I’m kind of meh on candy corn but find myself able to eat a lot of it for some reason.
KV says
I like candy corn.
Maren says
Scary movies: can’t pick just one, but I’ll second the commenter who named The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Also: Ju-On, The Shining, Night of the Living Dead, Grave Encounters, Session 9. Would love to find more movies that actually scare me.
Diana says
I love candy corn – the absolute best is the harvest corn!!!!
Meghan says
I have carved a pumpkin before! But I don’t think I’ve done a very good job – I should’ve tried it again this year! 😀
Kirsten says
How do you feel about candy corn?
I LOVE candy corn! And those cream pumpkins too! Gimme all the sugar goo!
Rachel says
I am going to be Rosie the Riveter for Halloween, mostly so I can do a fun retro cat-eye flick and a classic red lip. But it’s also an ironic nod to my boyfriend’s Hugh Hefner costume. I refused his (joking) question of being a Playboy bunny, but figured a great feminist icon would balance us out at parties. Hope you have a fun Holiday!
em says
i’ve never liked candy corn. only one person in my family likes eating candy corn
Leslie Kiley says
I am obsessed with candy corn. I love the vanilla taste and the bright color combo. Most of the time I hate yellow and orange. I like cooler colors but put those together in the fall and It sings! Love candy corn cupcakes , pies, rice crispy treats .anything !!!!
Michaela says
Happy Halloween Karen! The scariest movie I’ve ever seen is The Changeling with George C.Scott. It’s about this guy who bought an old house and weird things have been happening in the attic! There’s a certain element of suspense. It’s that type of movie that even when you know something terrible is going to happen you still get scared because it’s so sudden! It’s that good of a movie.
nat ogu says
im not fond of candy corn and never have been, the texture is off for me and i find it crazy sweet but people around me have always loved it so more for them
mrsshukra says
Never liked candy corns!
Melissa Leonard says
I love candy corn! The chocolate flavored ones are my fave!
brenda disimone says
For Halloween i dressed my dogs up as cows !
Stacey says
Candy corn shots are the best
Sophia says
I would love to win the voucher as I don’t own any MAC makeup, but I’d really like to try out their lipstick. Winning this would force me to pluck up the courage to go into the store and talk to the sales assistants where usually I buy drugstore makeup and not learn new tricks…. except from you, Karen.
Sophia
Cathy says
I love candy corn but can only eat a small amount because it’s so sweet. And I haven’t carved a pumpkin since I was a kid. We went to a Halloween party tonight and we watched the Shining and then the Exorcist. I actually work for the hospital system that did the exorcist on the boy who the movie is based on. A stained glass window that was in the room is in our archives. Not kidding.
Brittany says
I do remember carving a pumpkin with my parents when I was in elementary school. Up until recently, I haven’t been in a Halloween celebration mood. A year ago, I did carve a pumpkin for the first and only time by myself at a university event. I did lose it as the day progressed because the event was around noon and I had classes and public transportation to deal with afterwards. 🙁
RAKISHA KEARNS-WHITE says
The scariest movie I’ve ever seen is The Exorcist, hands down.
Rini Joseph says
Happy Halloween!!
Michelle Comeslast says
Love candy corn and candy pumpkins! But I love Mac more!
Susan C. says
Candy corn doesn’t taste good to me, but does make for pretty awesome temporary fangs!
Wayne says
Happy Halloween!
Alona Y says
I haven’t seen a ghost but did see something that was inexplicable, a candle that moved across a table about 2 feet towards me – completely on it’s own. It is the most “paranormal” thing I’ve ever witnessed.
Vanna says
Happy Halloween!
Sarah Sq. says
I actually like candy corn, but only enough to want to eat it once a year lol
Imogen says
I wanted to carve a pumpkin for the first time this year but they were all sold out everywhere… So we carved a watermelon instead! It ended up looking really cool (the inside glowed red) and it suits the hot weather here in Australia!
Cory says
Hey Karen! Happy Halloween!
Colleen Boudreau says
I hate candy corn!
Isabella says
The Ring was pretty scary when it came out, and I was younger than as well. I remember I had to turn the TV around so the screen wouldn’t face my bed to be able to go to sleep, haha.
Lisa says
Not a big fan of candy corn but love chocolate candies!
Rhoda K says
I’ve never tried candy corn! I’ve never seen it here in the UK. Am I missing out? x

What does it taste like?
Debbie says
Good morning!!! – And yes I have been lost in the woods when I was a kid with my girlfriend, exploring and my girlfriend and I ended up on another road. We had to go to a house to call my parents to come and pick us u[. I did a lot of exploring when younger. I am older you see.
Every year I attend a pumpkin caring party and we give out big awards. Actually Bowling ball tropheys but take the bowling balls off and put pumpkins on them.
I am so loving Mac products and just getting into freelance work as i love making women beautiful so I hope to win your prize!!!!! At my age it’s not easy to get started as I work a full time job as well but I’m doing what I love.
Thank you so much for listening!!

Gina B. says
Hi Karen, baby girl, and Tabs.
Hope all is well. No I’ve never been lost in the woods, that I can remember – and I’ve carved pumpkins I think once. I didn’t care much for it. Life is a little, well actually a lot better for me – I have some new friends! Thank you Ms. Karen for your well-wishes for me. My job is going grand, and things are well. I see you’re doing well also. We’re blessed girl. Say hi to tabs…

Some Halloween decorations are too scary
Lauren says
I was lost in the woods 2 months ago! I was having a yucky day before I moved, and decided to hike w my dog at the same trail we always go to. I wanted to be adventurous and took a different route. The sun was setting and 2 hours later, I was SO. LOST. my dog couldn’t walk anymore and I sat in the mud next to him. I had my cell phone and called the police! They asked where I was, and I said “I don’t know, that’s why I’m calling!” I knew the name of the woods/trail and 20 min later a ranger on a bike found us! My dog slept the entire next day, and I was covered w bug bites and scratches.
Rosemary says
That’s such a cool Halloween graphic, Karen!
Love candy corn.
Scariest movie: The Exorcist. I can’t even look at the movie poster without getting a chill.
Hope you and Baby Girl had a fun Halloween.
Karleena says
I love candy corn!!
Mint says
Boo-tiful weekend!
I never liked horror movies.
I always have nightmares after that.
Amoure Jones says
Happy belated Halloween.
How do you feel about candy corn?
It’s a good thing they have other flavors because the original is horrid.
Have you ever carved a pumpkin before?
Yes when I was younger.
Best haunted house?
I have to admit I’ve only been to one, but I was actually the one scaring people. We weren’t very scary imo. lol
Have you ever seen a ghost?
More like an apparition. I think it was my moms mother; we’ve never met before because she died when my mom was 12.
Scariest movie you’ve ever seen?
It’s more gore than scare, but I’d have to say Human Centipede.
Have you ever been lost in the woods?
Nope. I’ve seen what happens in the movies so I know better to even go close to the woods. I’ll remain in city limits.
Coline T. says
The scariest movie I’ve ever seen is “Evil Dead II”. Horrible! :-O
Megan says
Happy Halloween! I love candy corn and the scariest movie i have ever seen was poltergeist.
CARMEN Cappadocia says
Scariest movie was the Blair Witch project followed by the Exorcist.
No candy corn!
Had to stay home and pretty sit for my daughter’s charges while she went to a party and stayed overnight.
alice says
Went trick or treating with baby girl for the first time. She was soooo not into it until towards the end. By the last house she was shouting “trek trek reee!”
Al says
Thanks for the giveaway, Karen! Happy Halloween!
maria says
Happy Halloween! I was a vampire!
Hannah says
I love halloween! As well as everything that comes with it. My favorite scary movie for the season is probably trick r treat but my favorite horror movie in general is 28 weeks later.
Nataya A says
Happy Halloween, Karen. I was scared when I watched The Others. However Japanese Horror are a way too scarry.
Melly says
I LOVE candy corn! It’s easily my favorite Halloween candy.
Sandy says
The scariest movie I’ve ever seen was ‘It’s Alive’ when I was a teenager. I remember going with my girlfriend from school to a small theatre where they rumbled the seats during the scarey parts and it was frightening! I generally do not enjoy scarey movies. Your outfit is great Karen!
Monica says
I’m not a huge fan of candy corn to be honest! It’s not horrible, just not my favorite 😛
Hannah says
I love(d) candy corn, but after chowing down on it for over a month, I’m ready to move on to another type of sweet now that Halloween is over! Maybe it’s time for egg nog ?
joti says
I have never seen a Ghost but I love listening ghost stories!
Chris25 says
I did candy corn nails!

Alison Grant says
Oh man scariest film?? Er switchblade romance. Aaaahhhhh!!!! Why was that film made?! I was freaked out for months after that. Phew.
Alyson says
Have you ever carved a pumpkin?
Every year I use to carve pumpkins with my family. My mom would make us use the kit since she thought it was safer than knives. I grew up thinking everyone carved pumpkins as a kid until this year. My boyfriend and I carved pumpkins together this year. I carved an elaborate cat in the moonlight,and he carved a simple jack o latern. He said he wanted to do something easy because it was his first time carving one. I was shocked considering he is 28 years old. I guess his parents were afraid to let him carve one as a kid because they didn’t want him to hurt himself. Anyways, I just thought it was funny.
Kimm says
Happy belated Halloween! Did you have fun? I just love Halloween! I got to dress up twice this year and I just love doing makeup! My next door neighbors niece let me paint her face like a sugar skull and it was so much fun!!!! I was a deer this year. And I made antlers out of sticks. And then my husband kindly reminded me that only boy deers have antlers. And then called me Caitlyn Jenner all night. Oh well.
I love love love candy corn!!!! Love it! And I had so much fun carving pumpkins yesterday! I learned how to use some new tools to carve them and made a cool barbaric pumpkin with teeth eating a tiny pumpkin. Did you carve a pumpkin this year? Did you watch “it’s the great pumpkin Charlie Brown” this year? It’s my favorite!!! Can you believe it’s November!!! Happy November!

Aditi says
Hi Karen! Happy Halloween!
I’m not from the States so Halloween is a new (but exciting!) experience for me. I didn’t have time to carve a pumpkin this year (I really, really want to!). I’m not a huge fan of horror movies, especially after an ex would force me to watch them. I’d literally be cowering in the theater, covering my eyes; I’m not a fan of gore.
I loved your Rainbow Dash costume! My Little Pony is a guilty pleasure of mine.
christina p says
I love Halloween! All the little ghosties, black cats, and cute pumpkins are my thing. Not so much a fan of scary movies and gore!
Anastassia says
Happy Halloween! I have curved pumpkins yes. I don’t like horror movies.
Sylvia says
I like candy corn, but not like I used to. My favorite Halloween movie is Trick ‘r Treat, and I recommend it.
Susan Y says
Never been lost in the woods! Would not go in unless there was a clear walking path. Can you say “city girl”?
Barbora says
Wow, Halloween seems to be SO popular in States! I live in Slovakia and we don´t make a big deal out of it here. A couple of people wearing some fake blood and that´s it. I´ve been watching few Halloween tutorials lately, but I could never wear anything like that here, I would be the weirdo! 😀
Illy Junus says
yes, i did carved pumpkin years ago and i am not bad, but stop it because it is such a mess. And i did see ghost before, and that’s the most frighting thing that ever happen to me
Nicole says
I think I may be one of the only people on the planet who legitimately enjoys candy corn…
Stacy says
I saw a weird shaped pumpkin at the store and didn’t buy it. It was larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, looked like it was squeezed while growing. I had a great idea for it later that night but i figured it was alteady gonw. A couple days later that pumpkin was still there and I went ahead and bought it.I carved an alien face in it and painted it with green neon paint so it would glow with a black light. It is the coolest pumpkin I’ve ever done.
Kathy T says
I’m not super into candy corn.
Princess says
Never carved a pumpkin before, but I plan to next year!
Krizzie says
I’ve never been to a Halloween party 🙁 I so badly want to dress up in a costume haha
Kay says
Candy corn is cute but I don’t like the taste much. Happy late Halloween.
Maggie says
I like candy corn. I confess I can’t have more than two handfuls at a time though–then I’d be sick of it.
Andrea T says
I have a love-hate relationship with candy corn! The only time I actually eat it is on Halloween; whenever someone mentions candy corn on a day that isn’t Halloween, I throw up a little. It’s funny, isn’t it?
Alisia Compton says
Candy corn? Nope. lol Hate the stuff. I’m addicted to candy, but candy corn and black licorice aren’t for me.
Susan Bender says
Not a fan of candy corn but love how it looks as halloween decorations!
marlena says
I love candy corn; I wish they were easier to get a hold of year-round, but I guess that is what makes them special. Butter mints are also really good if you like candy corn 🙂
FIONA says
So, here’s the thing. Candy corn is like Swedish Fish to me. It’s delicious for the first few then *SNAP* it’s disgusting. I have to be careful and eat it in moderation… thanks again for the lovely giveaway 🙂
Jocelyn says
I think candy corn is disgusting! I don’t know how it became a thing. I’ve only met one person who likes it, or admits to liking it.
Judy says
enjoying fall weather and fall fashion!
BLANCA says
The shining… Suuuuper scary!
Emma says
I LOVE candy corn – the only problem is that I eat too much of it every time and make myself sick >< so this year I didn't buy myself any. I carved a happy pumpkin this year based off a design I found on pinterest and then freehanded, it was fun ^_^
Bertha says
I like to have between 3-5 individual pieces of candy corn per year and then I’m completely done with it.
indayluvs says
I can’t wait for TWD tonight! AaahAHHhh!!
bonnie says
I love halloween! I normally like to hand out candy, but this year I took my nephew out trick or treating! It was so fun! There was this house that made their own haunted house on their driveway, and of course we lined up to go in! We made it through two doors before my nephew said he couldn’t handle it anymore!
I hope your halloween went well!
Elena says
I eat each section of candy corn separately. Is that weird?!
Isabel V says
I do this too!!! The little kernels just beg to be eaten that way, don’t they?
Chris says
I don’t like candy corn. BUT – I once made triangle shaped krispy treats where I dyed the marshmallow goo orange before mixing in the krispies – then dip the fat end in chocolate and dip the narrow tip in white chocolate. Easy but looks awesome!
Deb says
I like candy corn, but it’s so sugary sweet I can only eat a few pieces!
Sarah W says
I also eat each section of candy corn separately…
Isabel V says
I’m aware this isn’t the most popular opinion, but I’m on team candy corn! I’m always surprised by just how much people hate it, but I dig the texture in spite of the fact that they’re really just tricolored, triangular sugar bombs. They make little pumpkins out of the same goop that are pretty adorable!
Oli says
I have never lost in the woods
Jessica says
How do you feel about candy corn? I’m fine with candy corn! Other flavored candy corn is pretty fun, like the Starburst ones, or root beer flavored ones.
Have you ever carved a pumpkin before? I had for many years. I stopped for a few cause I’d always be out of town on Halloween, but this year I made my best one.
Best haunted house? I really want to go to Pirates of Emerson. I bet that’s the best.
Have you ever seen a ghost? Nope, how scary would that be if that was real?!
Scariest movie you’ve ever seen? The Grudge. I’ve seen both, the US version is scarier in my opinion. Peope told me the japanese version is scarier, but I disagree.
Have you ever been lost in the woods? No, thank goodness
Marisela Bennett says
Most scary disturbing movie “The Human centipede” it’s pretty crazy! once was enough never again!
Jennifer says
We only had 5 trick or treaters last night. I could have given each kid a whole bag of candy!!
Lesley says
I don’t even know what candy corn is! I have carved a pumpkin with a Japanese exchange student. We used hiragana ( which actually made a word) for the features of the face.
Radhika says
Hi Karen Happy Halloween….
I don’t see horror movies much but me last seen horror movie was The Conjuring & it was really scary one.
Stacey says
I just carved my first pumpkin in years, and it turned out really well! I did a large crescent moon with some stars. I dry heaved while I was clearing out the inside of the pumpkin, though.
Kat says
I have never had candy corn ever! And I have never carved a pumpkin, too..though I have had a lot of starbucks pumpkin lattes, does that count? hehe
anyhoo, the LAST movie i watched which scared me to death and i went out the cinema crying was the Blair Witch Project. Seriously after that, no more horror and scary movies for me!
amy pugmire says
I hate all things scary but I actually went to a haunted house this year for the first time in probably 10 years.
Jill says
I love candy corn! Well all things candy 🙂
Jackie says
I used to like candy corn a lot more as a kid…Now I rarely eat them because they aren’t my candy of choice.
Yes, I used to carve pumpkins before as a kid and as a teenager…I remember it took a lot of work to get the sharp edges of the pumpkin’s eyes, nose, and mouth and to remove all the gunk inside, lol. It’s been a while though since I’ve carved a pumpkin…
Can’t say that I’ve ever seen a ghost before (yikes!) and hopefully, I never do. :/
In terms of the scariest movie, I don’t watch too many horror films but probably a 3-way tie between The Exorcist, Nosferatu, and the original 1968 Night of the Living Dead (hell, any of the zombie movies give me a good scare).
wina says
never carved a pumpkin before but my friend did it the first time and it looks amazing
Victoria Martin says
I love your blog and makeup reviews!! Your reviews are informative and extremely helpful especially when I am deciding on whether a particular product is worth purchasing. I’ve never carved a pumpkin but I’ve seen some pretty amazing ones including a pumpkin carving of Carol from the Walking Dead! Pretty neat carving!
sara says
Pet Cemetery scariest movie
Kimberly says
The scariest movie I’ve ever seen is The Shining.

I hope people in my country celebrates Halloween to. It looks fun.

Aenea says
Never been kost in the woods. Too scared to even go
Nikolina says
I looooooooooooooooooove candy corn!!!!! 🙂
Janea says
I don’t think I’ve ever had candy corn. I generally try to stay away from the horrors, I need to be able to sleep at night.
Sarah Duehr says
When I was about 12 my friend and I got “lost” in the woods. We were following a trail, so we knew how to get back to where we started, but it started to get dark before we turned around. We ended up getting a ride back to where we started walking from a very nice couple. My friend’s dad was fishing the whole time and didn’t even realize we were lost!
Tara says
How do you feel about candy corn? – Love it!
Have you ever carved a pumpkin before? – Yes, every year with our kiddos!
Best haunted house? – No clue! I’m terrified!
Have you ever seen a ghost? – NO!
Scariest movie you’ve ever seen? – Either The Ring, The Grudge or Mothman Prophecies. All haunted me for weeks.
Have you ever been lost in the woods? – No, and please… no. LOL.
CAROLINA says
Best haunted house: At Downtown in Orlando, Fl. Super scary!
Devis says
I think candy corn tastes like wax or plastic :/
Swati says
I have a love-hate relationship with candy corn!
emily says

Almudena says
This has been my very first Halloween, and I had a blast! Looking forward next year’s!
Alyssa Lee says
Candy corn is amazing.
Bee says
Have you ever carved a pumpkin before? hmmmmm not really. I painted a face on one though 😀
I’m a hindu from India so halloween is not celebrated there. I was really fascinated when I came here. These days I do participate in the parade and stuff but havent really carved a pumpkin 😀
Next year hopefully 😀
Sienna says
Looove candy corn! Love those candy pumkins that are kinda like candy corn! Scariest movie- Blair Witch Project!
Gabby says
In my 37 years, I have never tried candy corn. I don’t know why but it reminds me of bar soap. I don’t want to know what it tastes like and I don’t think I want to Lol
Cyndi says
I’ve discovered that I really love candy corn!! For years I thought it was gross due to it’s colors, but then I finally tried it last year and fell in love! 🙂
Astrild says
I can’t think about the scareist movie I’ve ever seen, but I can tell you, no doubt, the scariest book I’ve ever read. It’s Drácula by Bram Stoker. It’s terrifing.
Julie Florence says
TOTAL mixed feelings about candy corn. I love it but I hate it!
Trude says
Do you remember “What Lies Beneath” with Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer? That one creeped me out, they were both so good! Otherwise I’m not one for scary movies, my dreams are vivid enough as it is.
Nikki says
No, I’ve never carved a pumpkin but would love to do it though. Perhaps with my li’l one next year. She will be 20 months for next Halloween.
Alexandra says
Never once have I carved a pumpkin! The closest I’ve come is cutting up butternut 😉
Jordan says
I love carving pumpkins! But I didn’t do one this year.
renu says
More than the movies, ’twas the books, the omen, the exorcist, coma, and most of all there was a collection of short horror stories i read while still in school which was quite nerve-wracking, it had stories by poe and maupassant. they were riveting as well as horrorifying! (sic)
Maura Ehrlich says
When I was about 14 years old, me and my 3 friends were home alone watching Christmas movies when all of a sudden all 4 of my family’s stockings fell from the mantle where they were wrapped around and secured to a candle, which means there is no way they could’ve just fallen because of wind…And that is the time I felt the presence of a ghost!
Carm says
Candy corn is only slightly better than no candy at all. I love carving pumpkins. Fortunately, my kids normally lose interest and I can finish them up (and enhance them).
Too chicken to watch scary movies but I always read the annual ghost story contest on Jezebel. I should stop doing that…probably. But I won’t because its fascinating.
Barbara B says
There aren’t many candies I dislike, but candy corn is one of them. Someone left a bag of candy corn and a bag of those Mellocreme pumpkins in our break room last week.It was a long way til lunch time so I ate some. Still a no!!
Makyla says
Not a fan of candy corn! Hope you, Hubs, Baby Girl, and Tabs are well!
Ida says
Happy belated Halloween!
Kids enjoyed carving pumpkins and trick and treating a lot this year. Our 2 year old is such an extrovert, he was all polite and chatty. 4 year old is more shy. Of course, it is easy when you know big brother is backup :).
I’m nervous about taking our cats to boarding, even if it is at our awesome vet. we’re gone a week over thanksgiving, and usual cat sitter is not available.
Gaby says
Best haunted house I’ve been to was in six flags a few years ago I believe.. It had a ton of floors and “famous” characters like Chuckie and Frankenstein. I was so freaked out, but then again thats the main purpose of it right? Lol anyway, hope all is well Karen! Can’t wait for your mini me!!
nina says
i’m obsessed with candy — but candy corn just doesn’t do it for me! 🙂

Marcelle says
I love candies, especially candy corn.
Karen says
The best haunted house I went to was in Gatlinburg, TN where my family got trapped inside because it was so dark we couldn’t figure out how to get out! One of the hooded actors in the house had to rescue us… We’ll never forget that.
Bruna says
I enjoy Halloween a lot!
Alix says
Yep, I’ve been lost in the woods before!
Analy Rodriguez says
I don’t like candy corn I prefer chocolates for Halloween treats 🙂
Mel says
I’ve never seen a ghost but I do believe one has communicated with me….I was at an abandoned underground railroad house and asked if any ghosts were present and the lights flickered….unsure if it was just a fluke I continued to ask yes or no questions and the light always flickered when I asked a particular question still the scariest moment of my life to this day!
Melinda says
I’ll never understand the fascination with candy corn!!!! Bluh! Hate the stuff!
Brian says
Getting lost in the woods alone is one of my biggest fears! I have gotten lost in the woods before but thankfully, I was with friends that were able to navigate all of us back on track.
Gabrielle says
I realize I’m in the minority, but I actually rather like candy corn. *hides from inevitable scorn*
Shell says
I don’tthink my answer previously went thru…
I’m such a wuss…no haunted houses for me! I’m even too scared for most scary movies. Sad, huh? But I love Halloween, because I LOVE seeing all the little kids dress up! So adorable! Happy Halloween!!
Katrina says
If you eat candy corn with peanuts it tastes just like a Payday candy bar so I like them.
Anne says
I love candy corn, it’s much better than real corn! And I can carve a pumpkin with lashes and a Cupid’s bow 😉
Katherine says
I sat in a pumpkin carving contest before. I got inspired and carved my own pumpkin beside them. I was selected as a winner but was disqualified because I did not officially join the competition! Good times. Hopefully I’ll get a gift card this time! 😀
Michelle says
Even though I had to work until 8pm on Halloween night, I still went out with some friends to dance the night away at one of my friends’ party after coming from work. It was definitely a night to remember! I dressed up as a spider queen (aka spiderman’s wife) for halloween! I hope you had a fun night of halloween as well!
Gaya says
Honestly I hate the taste of candy corn but I forget every year and buy a bag, and then remember how much I dislike it! (Although I always end up eating the entire bag anyway…I really need to stop eating while watching Netflix.)
Lauren Wieland says
Scariest movie I’ve ever seen.. Nightmare on Elm Street!
Genesis says
I’ve never carved a pumpkin but I’ve always wanted to!
tiffany says
I’m trying so hard not to spend any money till the $20 gift certificate deal on Beautylish is up, but it’s so hard!
Sally says
I used to think candy corn was a waste of time, but this year it’s actually been growing on me.
Vincent says
I remember trying to carve a pumpkin when I was a kid and got so frustrated that I manage to throw the pumpkin off our apt balcony haha
Efrain says
I’ve never tried candy corn but here there are a kind of lollipop which tastes like corn with chili.
Tosha H says
I think the scariest movie I’ve seen is a Japanese one called Audition, I even knew what was going to happen from spoilers I’d accidentally read and it still made me almost fall off my chair
Anne-Marie says
We don’t really do Halloween in Finland, but I sure like the Halloween collections that companies put out.
