Favorite Halloween costume as a kid?

Was this true where you grew up?: Halloween costumes were mostly of the plastic/vinyl kind, where you just slipped into these plastic sheaths that had some cartoon characters body printed on the outside of it… along with the ol’ plastic face-front only masks that you couldn’t see or breathe out of very well. (Don’t forget the rubber band that always broke about halfway through your school costume parade). You had to wear clothes underneath this little plastic jobby, because it was never meant to be worn alone, (it’s the equivalent in thickness of the paper vest the doc gives you now so you don’t feel “naked” during your exam) and because it was usually like 17 degrees in Ohio by Halloween.

I didn’t grow for a few years in elementary school. So I had to wear the same vinyl/plastic Snow White costume a couple of years in a row. The injustice! Talk about the elementary equivalent of a buzz kill. But the neighborhood candy and ensuing sugar high made up for it, I’m sure.

Favorite scary movie?

The Shining. Those little dead kids who’d be standing in the hallway would freak me out.
