Going Off The Grid
 

Thoughts on dressing up pets? Do you still carve pumpkins? Spooky character that scares you the most? Favorite Halloween movie? Do you believe in ghosts?
Grebe
Only if they match the owners
Definitely! With a butcher knife and spoon
Count Dracula
"Nightmare On Elm Street"
Of course

Cannon
In no way do they want to wear human costumes
Yes -- a family tradition
The spirit in "Grudge." Still creeps me out to this day
John Carpenter's "Halloween"
I do not believe in ghosts. I do believe in things that can't be explained
Symon
Mixed. I've seen animals with better wardrobes than me!
Yes -- the spoon/knife method
Billy the Puppet in "Saw"
Any of the "Scary Movie" series
No

Lindberg
Not a fan, no matter how cute they look
Yes -- old fashioned knife carver
Chucky from "Child's Play" -- always creeps me out
I'm a sucker for "Hocus Pocus"
I'm on the fence
