Are you going to dress-up?

"Perhaps Prince Zuko but we'll see."

These next two questions are more miscellaneous: Would you spend the night in a haunted house for $500?

"Like actually haunted? Or human-made haunted?"

"No, I would not."

Do you have a Halloween fear? Like ghosts, clowns, or running out of candy?

"Some clowns are really scary. I just don't like horror movies in general. Certain elements in horror kind of bug me."
