Fire up Netflix and break out the candy corn!

Pretty clearly, the best part of Halloween is that you dress up in a fun costume and walk around acquiring delicious candy. Who doesn't love that? We're really excited to see all the trick-or-treaters in their best outfits this year. We've got our bags of candy ready, and we're giving away prizes for the best costumes we see.
However, we cannot abide a certain type of trick-or-treater. You know the kind. The lazy one who doesn't wear a costume.
