The Southeast Missourian asked children what they liked about Halloween.
Mikey Crowell: "I like the haunted houses, the candy and dressing up. I'm going to the mall dressed as a skeleton."
Adam Roark: "I like to cut out pumpkins. I'm going to trick or treat dressed up like a pirate."
Mayakka Ray: "I get to bake cookies for Halloween. I put little pumpkin faces and little witches on them. I might dress up as an angel."
Kevin Thomas: "I want to dress up like a ninja. I'll get to go to the mall."
Jessica Stoffregen: "It's fun to dress up and go around and meet people. I'm probably going to be a corpse.
