lollylopmr suggested that we do a Halloween-related poll, which we haven't done in 15 years.

You can submit poll ideas here: https://www.mangaupdates.com/topic/kilkdnn/site-manga-poll-suggestions

Previous Poll Results:

Question: Do you think a series is better if the author is also the artist?

Choices:

• Yes - votes: 637 (32.1%)
• No - votes: 675 (34%)
• I don't know - votes: 671 (33.8%)

There were 1983 total votes. The poll ended: November 1, 2025

Is this the poll with the most even split in votes?

A just ruler amongst tyrants

Where is the "I don't do Halloween"? Or the "There is no Halloween, where I live"? (sadly, I wouldn't be able to chose the latter. It didn't used to be a thing, here, but...)

Not a thing in my immediate locality and socioeconomic stratum.

No. Never did it. Family or friends would instead watch a horror movie on halloween night if anything, I don't think any good scary movies came out this october though.

Internet Lurker At Heart

Yes, I dress up every year, it's my favorite holiday!

I love scaring the trick-or-treaters (and sometimes their parents too) by sitting stock still and pretending to be a prop by the candy bowl. When they approach to get some candy, I let the first one or two (depending on the size of the group) get some without moving to "prove" I'm not real, then when they let their guard down I suddenly jolt up and spook them. It's a good thing we do it on grass since every year we get some kids who fall over when they jump back, often spilling their candy in the process.

Of course, I try not to scare the really little ones or the ones who seem genuinely frightened and clearly don't want to be scared, but I love scaring the kids who are old enough to get a kick out of it.

We also went to a drive through haunt and I wore a mask to that just for the fun of it (albeit a much less restrictive one since I still wanted to be able to see well and I didn't need to look convincingly like there isn't a human hiding underneath), but that was today/technically yesterday now I guess, not on Halloween itself.

Never did a halloween.. Not a thing in my country.
