Different countries have different ideas of how to destroy them.

2. What kind of American candy, divided into three different-colored layers, is a popular treat around Halloween?

Answer: Candy corn

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.

Answer: All Hallow's Eve

Halloween is the contracted corruption of All Hallow's Eve.

4. Fill in this TV special title: "It's the Great Pumpkin, _______ _____"

Answer: Charlie Brown

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

5. Which 1993 movie feature characters such as Max, Dani, and Allison?

Answer: Hocus Pocus

"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!
