Everyone has their favorite childhood Halloween memories. And depending on your trick-or-treating decade, 70's, 80's, or 90's. Your memories will have varying degrees of story power. Example: 1970's, Running around a spooky neighborhood, that is just a little farther than you were supposed to go.

It's unfamiliar and mysterious. What dangers might befall you there? (Nothing is going to happen, but your a kid. It's Halloween and you have a big imagination.

From a distance you hear your parent repeatedly asking you if you want Ivar's or Sbarro?
And you think to yourself...maybe I want Orange Julius.
