Happy day after Halloween! This is widely regarded as the best day of the year because today's the day that you get to eat all the candy you collected last night. If you went out trick or treating, you probably got to see some pretty innovative Halloween displays last night. Some people like to build their own costumes, but there's no doubt that creativity doesn't stop there: Lots of people who decide to hand out candy like to go that extra mile to scare and thrill anyone who comes to collect. I've seen people who hide walkie-talkies ni their Jack-O-Lanterns to trick kids into thinking that the pumpkin is actually speaking to them. Another Halloween enthusiast dressed up like a scarecrow and sat on a lawn chair, pretending to be a straw dummy, so that he could jump up and spook unwary visitors. And one couple dressed all in black while bathing their home in black light, so that they looked like a pair of disembodied floating heads when they came to the door with candy.
