Hello and happy timezones, kind friends! I have greatly enjoyed your responses to my Get to Know You posts!
So, it’s time. Come sit on my porch for a spell. Tea, lemonade and refreshments will be served shortly.
Here are 3 questions! Let’s go!
Round #39:
Early bird or night owl?
What’s your favorite spooky story or legend?
What’s the best Halloween candy?
Here are my answers:
Both. I’m an insomniac. LOL
“The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” has put a thrill in my heart ever since I was a little girl.
Kit Kat! 😀
And now, it’s your turn! If you don’t want to participate, no problem! I’m just glad you’re here. A hello would be fantastic, though! Of course, lurkers are always heartily welcome, too. xo
Thank you so much for reading, liking, lurking, and commenting! You are important!
Early bird, for sure, Kymber. (Sorry to hear that you couldn’t pick just one. Insomnia is not fun.)
The Jersey Devil
And candy corn is almost irresistible! (Now I want some).
Fun questions, Kymber. 🙂
-Early bird, and coffee
– Don’t like spooky movies, but a huge Twilight Zone fan
– there’s candy at Halloween???…LOL Not a candy person more deserts for me.
Another fun episode in this series 🙂 And I’ll try not to copy your answers for 2 and 3, since I also love those. My picks:
Early bird. I love the quietness of early morning.
“The Tell-Tale Heart” — Poe wrote many great stories, but in this one, he seriously gets into the madness of the narrator.
Mounds — the combo of dark chocolate and coconut makes me keep coming back for more, so it’s a dangerous love 🙂
Early Bird
Not a big fan of scary movies/stories, but perhaps Legend of Sleepy Hollow
I hate the traditional Hallowe’en hard toffees. I go for anything with peanut butter and chocolate. Peanut Butter Cups are the best
Hope all is well with you. Happy Friday Kymber. Allan
Early bird or night owl? Early bird, at least I function better when I'm that way.
What’s your favorite spooky story or legend? I remember loving the 'woman with velvet ribbon' story, which I hadn't thought of in a long time!
What’s the best Halloween candy? The little Hershey's or Heath bars.
Early bird or night owl? Definitely early bird. At my age the new midnight is 10:00.
What’s your favorite spooky story or legend? My favorite legend is the on of Sleepy Hollow. Loved that as a kid.
What’s the best Halloween candy? Has to be Reeses or Twix. Then there’s Snickers and Almond Joy. Oh heck. Anything but candy corn and popcorn balls.
Hi Kymber, I am sorry to hear you are an insomniac. I am an early bird and always have been. My favourite spooky story is about the burning lights on Ghost Mountain in KwaZulu Natal. They are believed to be the fires of the spirits of the ancestors who are buried inside the Ghost’s mouth (cave in the mountain). I have written a short story about it for my next short story collection. I like the purple Quality Streets.
Yes, to Kit Kat candy! The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a good one. Did you watch the TV show series a couple of years ago. It was really good.
My answers would be … early to bed and early to rise as I’m asleep usually by 9:30/45 and up every day at 4 a.,m. Didn’t used to be. I’d be up until after midnight but not any more.
Spooky story? Pretty much any book written by Stephen King. Salem’s Lot, Pet Cemetery, and many more including short stories collections.
Favorite Halloween candy – chocolate anything, but good chocolate, not the cheap off tasting ones. 🙂
Total night owl/insomniac here! I still manage to get up before 9 am, even though I go to bed around 2 or 3 am.
“The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” is a classic, for sure! Not really into creepy stories, otherwise.
Love those mini chocolate bars – any kind, as long as they don’t have nuts (allergic).
I used to be a night owl but now I’m asleep by 11pm and usually up very early.
Sleepy Hollow is all that comes to mind for me right now.
Candy corn is my childhood favorite, but now I would prefer anything sugar free that’s chocolate, like the ones Russel Stover’s makes!
Early bird.
Pet Sematary – I was scared by the book when i read it as a young teenager and the 2019 film creeped me out but it was good!
Any chocolate!
My answer is identical to yours, Kymber. I’ve had insomnia for several years now, so if I can get at least 4-5 hours of sleep, it’s a good night.
None really come to mind. But I’ll tell you about something that happened to my hubby (a nonbeliever). We stayed at the Seelbach Hotel in Louisville that’s reportedly haunted by the Lady in Blue. Hubby was awakened in the middle of the night by something pulling on his wrist – totally freaked him out. Of course I told him I’d been right about ghosts all these years, lol.
The best Halloween (or anytime) candy is dark chocolate Reese’s – which is why I buy something different for trick or treaters. I’ll eat it if it’s in the house!
I’m definitely a night-owl. I rarely go to bed before 11:00 PM, even when I have to get up early on mornings when I work (I’m retired, but work part time at a local library).
Favorite spooky story . . . that’s a tough one, because I like so many of them. Your choice is definitely a great one. I think mine is a conglomeration of legends/myths surrounding the Great Hurrican of 1900 in Galveston. There are a ton of ghost stories surrounding that event. My favorite, I think is that the Walmart in Galveston is supposedly built on the site where an orphanage was in 1900. There are tales that the Walmart is haunted by ghosts of the children. Delightfully creepy.
Favorite Halloween candy is also tough for me . . . I pretty much like all the candy, except for candy corn. But my favorite, I think, is anything that is sugary, crunchy, and sour, like giant Lemonheads. But I also like things like Red Hots and Jawbreakers. Chocolate is always good, too, though. I wouldn’t turn down a Kit Kat.

I love the cover image by the way!
Number 2 is tricky but there is something that gets you on a deeper level with legends, it’s that bit more mysterious, believable, memorable.
Enjoy some Kit Kat goodness this Halloweeeeeeen! xx

Early bird or night owl?
Definitely an early bird—because someone has to wake up the roosters!
What’s your favorite spooky story or legend?
I’m a fan of Japanese ghost stories; they’re so chilling that even my shadow refuses to follow me afterwards!
What’s the best Halloween candy?
Caramels, of course! They’re the sweet treat that doubles as a DIY dental adhesive.

Is there any Halloween candy other than candy corn?
I’m definitely a night-owl. I rarely go to bed before 11:00 PM, even when I have to get up early on mornings when I work (I’m retired, but work part time at a local library).
