Stockton- Halloween is a fun holiday with lots of fun activities to do. You can dress up as anyone you want to, eat lots of candy, and experience the spooky things about this holiday. At LHS, students were asked a couple of questions and shared their opinions about Halloween.
One student, Ken Kunimoto who’s in 12th grade, was asked “What are you doing this Halloween?” He replied, “I will trick or treat with my little brother and hopefully get a lot of candy.” Another student, Miley Tiffany, who’s also in 12th grade, was asked, “How will you get ready for Halloween?” She replied, “I think the best way to get ready for Halloween is to get in the mood, so I will start playing spooky music, watch horror movies, and decorate my house.”
It’s October which means Halloween is coming up. Since this is upcoming, I have created a spooky playlist of movies and music you can play to get in the spooky season.
