**Object of the game:**  
Give the most popular answer for each category.

**Rules:**

1. **No reading the thread before answering.** This is on the honor system.
2. Formatting rules must be followed (see below).
3. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players.
4. Google (etc.) is allowed, if you desire.
5. The game will end with 50 entrants, or when I get time to score it.
6. There is no Rule 6.
7. Special Rules for this particular Feud: None

**Formatting rules:**  
To make semi-automated scoring possible, and my job easier, make you post look exactly like this:

1. answer
2. answer
3. answer
4. answer

No double spacing, no smilies, no “list” function, no urls, no periods, no quote marks, and no punctuation if it is not necessary. Put “pass” if you want to leave an answer blank. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it AFTER THE LIST!  
If you don’t format like this, your answers might be DISQUALIFIED. Anyone who responds to a question with two answers will only have the first one counted as their answer.  
**Scoring:**  
With 50 entrants, an answer with a match is worth 2x the number of people matching it. If 4 people match, they each get 8 points for that answer. No matches = 0 points.  
Formula: Score = 100 / (# of entrants) x (# of matches)

Good luck!

If any of you have ideas for Feuds -and would like me to score them- PM me. If anyone wants to run their own Feud, feel free. I will help any way I can.

**Read the rules!  
Special Rules for this particular Feud: None**

1. Name a scary Halloween costume
2. Name a sexy Halloween costume
3. Name a geeky Halloween costume
4. Name a Halloween costume that was clearly thrown together at the last minute
5. How many hours does the average kid go trick or treating on Halloween?
6. At what age are you too old to go trick or treating?
7. Name a good candy (brand name) to get while trick or treating
8. Name a bad candy (generic name) to get while trick or treating
9. If you go trick or treating for UNICEF, what would be the average donation per house?
10. Other than ‘Halloween’ and its sequels, name a film starring Jamie Lee Curtis.

13. Hopefully people are thinking of movies from her “scream queen” period and not later roles. My first thoughts were “Trading Places” and “A Fish Called Wanda”.

Anybody notice how the conch for #4 changed at a certain point to another conch? I have a sneaking suspicion that there may be a generational thing going on.
