DAYS OF OUR LIVES
The Trick-or-treaters: Eric Martsolf (Brady), Sal Stowers (Lani) and Robert Scott Wilson (Ben)
Favorite Scary Movie:
Martsolf: “Halloween.”
Stowers: “I am that person when I watch a scary movie I have nightmares. I’m gonna have to take it back to those campy ’80s/early ’90s scary movies where you have Freddy
Krueger and Jason and Michael
Myers. I love all of those backin-the-day scary movies. The
Exorcist scared the crap out of me, not gonna lie. That one, I couldn’t sleep for days. I was terrified. Wilson: “Halloween.”
Best Candy:
Martsolf: “Almond Joy.”
Stowers: “I actually really do like candy corn. I can’t eat too much of it, but I love it.”
Wilson: “Reese’s.”
Worst Candy:
Martsolf: “Whoppers.”
Stowers: “Is there a bad candy? I can’t think of one.”
Wilson: “Sweet Tarts.”
Favorite Pumpkin Dish:
Martsolf: “Pumpkin pie.”
Stowers: “I’m going to turn it into, like, Thanksgiving because I love pumpkin pie.”
Wilson: “Pumpkin chocolate chip muffins.”
Spookiest Sound:
Martsolf: “Pennywise [from It] laughter.”
Stowers: “In all those scary movies where [they have spooky music]. That and chainsaws. I hate the way those sound. Also when a door creaks open. I hate that!”
Wilson: “Original Halloween/ Michael Myers theme music.”
My Best Halloween Costume Ever:
Martsolf: “Richard Simmons.” Stowers: “There have been some good ones. I don’t even know how old I was, but I was a full bunny. My mom had this big, furry bunny costume made for me head to toe with a big carrot. I thought it was so fun. Last year I was Minnie Mouse and that was fun, which I’m probably going to be again this year.” Wilson: “Richard Harrow from BOARDWALK EMPIRE.”
Costume Philosophy: Instantly Recognizable Or More Obscure?
Martsolf: “Obscure!”
Stowers: “I like it to be recognizable, but I also like it to have character to it. I do think that Halloween should be fun. I think sometimes people take it a little too overboard, whether it’s way too sexy or sometimes just too terrifying.” Wilson: “Make them think for a second.”
Buy A Costume Or Make One?
Martsolf: “Buy one and customize it.” Stowers: “I like to do both. I buy the
costume, but then I add onto it or I’ll cut it and kind of shape it and make it my own.”
Wilson: “Half and half. Get creative.”
Host A Party Or Go To One?
Martsolf: “Go to one.” Stowers: “Go to one.” Wilson: “Go to one.”
Haunted Houses: Sign Me Up Or Skip ’Em?
Martsolf: “Sign me up.”
Stowers: “I want to do them, but I’m so scared! I do them but I have to have on a hoodie so I can be able to cover my eyes.” Wilson: “Sign me up twice and on the list for next year.”
Pets In Costumes: Yay Or Nay?
Martsolf: “No!”
Stowers: “Oh, absolutely. Yes!” Wilson: “Yay.”
Couples Costumes: Yay Or Nay?
Martsolf: “No!”
Stowers: “Yeah, I like those. I think they’re cute.” Wilson: “Yay.”
