Halloween Traditions and Preferences

The discussion delves into personal Halloween traditions, highlighting preferences between trick-or-treating and staying home to hand out candy. One speaker candidly admits that while the honorable choice would be to enjoy the night with his son, he actually prefers the comfort of home, watching horror movies and giving out treats. This preference is amplified by memories of carving pumpkins, which they usually do a couple of days before Halloween to ensure they last through the holiday. The conversation includes light-hearted references to classic Halloween movies that serve as background entertainment while engaging in these festive activities.
