You take trick-or-treating very seriously.
Generic candy corn? You have to be joking.

You are so pretty.

You cannot wait to head out there and drink some Halloween punch.
There'd better be quality vodka in it; you're using your calories for this.

You can totally deal with your hideously uncomfortable costume because you look fabulous.
The only acceptable time to wear a corset is Halloween. You're not just going to throw away this opportunity.

You don't deal well with people showing up in the same costume.
Don't worry — it looks better on you.

You're pretty judgmental of other people's costumes.
"She's going as Katniss again? That's so three years ago."

But you can't stand when someone disses your Halloween costume.

It's hard to hide your emotions when someone else's costume is a WRECK.
They obviously didn't follow the instructions in Real Simple.

Going to the Spirit store to claim its clearance items on Nov. 1 is a tradition for you.
Those cauldrons are still good for next year!
