 It Goes Bump in the Night 

Candy Corn (or CC) Is "born" every October 1st.  As the day and weeks go by she gets stronger.  Her peek power is of course All-Hollows-Eve.  Pretty much everything that goes bump in the night is at her control.  She as an army of puppet/plushie minons to do her bidding and carry out her deeds.  Once October passes her power quickly fades till about a week later she had to vanish till the next year.  CC can take on any appearance but for the past few years has chosen a curvy young womans figure.  She is naturally spotted mostly at night.

 Trick or Treat? 

If you run into CC  she is sure to ask you this sooner or later.  There is no "right" answer and be perpared for whatever you choose.  Of course she loves to play pranks.  Her favorite thing is to figure out was really scares you and then uses her powers to make some of that come true.  These are not illusions but the real thing.  However there have never been stories about her actually hurting anyone.  Candy Corn is a prankster but not "evil" thought she can control some pretty nasty things.  She rather get a good laught or a scream otu of you instead of using fear to rule like over evil leaders.

Fun Facts!

  • The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day. Up through the early twentieth century, the spelling "Hallowe'en" was frequently used, eliding the "v" and shortening the word. Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra hálȝena mæssedæȝ, the feast of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556.
  • Celtic Pagans consider the season a holy time of year. Celtic Reconstructionists, and others who maintain ancestral customs, make offerings to the gods and the ancestors.Some Wiccans feel that the tradition is offensive to Wiccan practitioners for promoting stereotypical caricatures of "wicked witches".
  • The Jack-o-lantern custom probably comes from Irish folklore. As the tale is told, a man named Jack, who was notorious as a drunkard and trickster, tricked Satan into climbing a tree. Jack then carved an image of a cross in the tree's trunk, trapping the devil up the tree. Jack made a deal with the devil that, if he would never tempt him again, he would promise to let him down the tree. According to the folk tale, after Jack died, he was denied entrance to Heaven because of his evil ways, but he was also denied access to Hell because he had tricked the devil. Instead, the devil gave him a single ember to light his way through the frigid darkness. The ember was placed inside a hollowed-out turnip to keep it glowing longer.
