OK, on seeing the other answers… People, Star Trek characters are not nerdy Halloween costumes. Yes, nerds wear Star Trek costumes, but not for Halloween: That would be a tremendous faux pas in nerd circles. The only reason a nerd would wear his Star Trek costume for Halloween would be if he didn’t have time to do anything else, and his fellow nerds would mock him for it.

5. 2
6. 25
7. M & Ms
8. hard candy
9. 25¢
10. True Lies  
now here are my personal answers (not for scoring):  
1 - Amy Winehouse  
2 - anything in which you look especially attractive  
3 - any SF character  
4 - College Student (the only chance I get to wear jeans to work)  
5 - it depends on how many kids he’s with and what the neighborhood is like - when I was in grade school, my record was 4 hours, but we had a chaperone  
6 - no such thing, if you’re in the mood.  
7 - ANYTHING CHOCOLATE  
8 - anything your gramma may have lying around  
9 - an “Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot to go to the bank and get change”  
10 - Trading Places (which is probably what i should have put for the real answer, but somehow I think the image of her dangling from a helicopter is what sticks in folks’ minds)

$5 !? per house?  
My neighbourhood is extremely popular during Halloween since everyone goes all out with decorations, etc… People actually drive from other areas to come trick or treating here and I have hundreds of kids come to the door! At $5 a UNICEF box I would have to re-mortgage my house!

By contrast, I very rarely see a UNICEF box at Halloween, and would happily put in $5 when I do.
