After venturing into the depths of the Nigh University Center, students and faculty caught up with The Vista and told us what their favorite candies and movies are! “You might think you’re too old for costumes, but you’re never too old for candy,” said student Decorion Cherry.


Although many people hate it, candy corn is one of the oldest Halloween candies–dating back from the 1880s– and still remains one of the most favored candies at this time of the year. The Chos love chocolate as Hershey’s, Reese’s Pieces and Snickers were also very popular candy choices among students.


Nearly 30 years later and Disney’s “Hocus Pocus” is still one of the most beloved Halloween movies to this day, according to our students’ answers. Additionally, students said that some of their other favorite Halloween movies are: “Halloweentown,” “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” and “Spooky Buddies.”
