Halloween - Random Trivia Questions

As you could tell by counting the silvery fillings in my mouth, Halloween was one of my favorite holidays as a kid. I grew up in suburbia, where walking around the neighborhood for a couple of hours would net enough plunder to open a candy store. Enough to eat a candy bar after every meal until Chocolate Day, I mean, Valentine's Day.

This week's quiz asks a little about Halloween itself, a bit about Halloween in the movies, and a lot about my favorite Halloween candy.
