Classic Homemade Halloween Treats

Bruno on Facebook had a hankering for the homemade Halloween eats and wanted to hear about them. I hope they don’t make you hungry. Did you know that Longfellow ruminated on the deceased? He did. My Twitter handle is @HalloweenHaunt. Find more at TheHalloweenHaunt.com.

Foodal has a comprehensive look at Halloween treating. Find out about peanut brittle from CandyFavorites.com. Hear past Halloween Haunt discussions about Halloween treats at Treats.TheHalloweenHaunt.com.

Ben Cooper Costumes

Bruno suggested this on Facebook. So many have worn them; if you’re not familiar, you really should google them and look at pictures. You can suggest an episode there or at TheHalloweenHaunt.com. Or on Twitter @HalloweenHaunt,  or even Google+.

Slate has a good overview of Ben Cooper’s effect on Halloween, and Wikipedia has a lot of history.

Trick or Treat Time

We revisit a favorite topic. It could be argued that trick-or-treating is one reason Halloween is what it is today. If you scroll nearly all the way down at TheHalloweenHaunt.com you’ll find the original trick-or-treat episode, along with nearly all the existing episodes . Please put the program in one of your Google+ circles, follow me on Twitter @HalloweenHaunt, and please “like” our Facebook page.

History.com goes over the…history of trick-or-treating quite nicely, as does Wikipedia.
