With October rolling around, Halloween is just around the corner! With Halloween comes candy…and TRIVIA! That is what we're doing here: some trivia. We’ll start with some easy ones and get progressively more difficult. Question 1: What color of cat is traditionally associated with bad luck on Halloween? Alright, I hope everyone got that one. Time for the second question. Question 2: Which fruit do people traditionally bob for on Halloween? Don’t overthink it, just go with your gut! This next one can be a little tricky, so be sure to take your time and think over all of your options! Question 3: What is the most popular Halloween candy in the United States? Question 4: Which famous magician died on Halloween in 1926? Hint: He’s like the most famous magician of all time! Up next, we have two different historical/geographical Halloween questions. Question 5: In what countries did the tradition of trick-or-treating originate? Unless you’ve heard of this before, this one might just be a guess! Time for the next one! Question 6: Which country holds the Guinness World Record for the heaviest pumpkin ever recorded? Hint: You could “boot” this pumpkin, but you probably shouldn’t because it weighs in at a whopping 2,702 lbs! FINAL QUESTION!! This one is insanely difficult, but still give it your best shot! Question 7: In the 1978 movie Halloween, the iconic mask worn by Michael Myers was actually a repainted $2 store-bought mask of which famous actor/character? You don’t get a hint for this one, just pure Halloween knowledge!
