4. Favorite Halloween Movie: Casper
Steve Voutsinas, Web Designer
1. Story Behind the Costume: This was the year I won a costume contest as Kermit and got my picture and name in the paper, proving that it IS easy being green!

3. Most Afraid of: The Yankees never winning another World Series
4. Favorite Halloween Movie: Scream
Stephanie Auville, Account Services
1. Story Behind the Costume: This isn’t even me; it’s my sister. I asked my mom for a photo of me in costume as a child, and this was what I received with a note stating, “Best I can do on short notice.” This is also translated as, “I have no idea which child wanted this, but I don’t have pictures of the second one anyway”. Thanks, Mom!
2. Favorite Candy: Cheese
3. Most Afraid of: Kayaking – strange fear, I know, but the thought of being crammed in a floating banana terrifies me.
4. Favorite Halloween Movie: It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
Juan Vallejo, Graphic Design
1. Story Behind the Costume: I loved that costume and wanted to wear it every single day. In fact, I did wear it every day…for two weeks after Halloween.
2. Favorite Candy: Chocolate
3. Most Afraid of: Slimy things
4. Favorite Halloween Movie: Too many to count
Scott Dickson, Online Visibility Intern
1. Story Behind the Costume: There’s no story behind this picture; I was just being a little brat. “You were jumping around and not listening, and I yelled at you. Sensitive little fella, but so sweet.” -Ma
2. Favorite Candy: 100 Grand
3. Most Afraid of: Verifying Yelp listings
4. Favorite Halloween Movie: Beetlejuice
Raymie Equi, Digital Marketing
Raymie couldn’t find the picture, so we picked one for him…
1. Story Behind the Costume (Not Pictured): My mom spent like two weeks making me a Star Trek costume in 4th grade. I was into sports and not Star Trek. Fail.
2. Favorite Candy: Yes.
3. Most Afraid of: Clowns, mountain lions, and pick pockets
4. Favorite Halloween Movie: Nightmare Before Christmas
Hayley Lyons, Creative Writing
1. Story Behind the Costume: I was a freshman in college. While all of the other girls were dressed in scantily clad costumes, I wore a full-bodied lion costume and was super comfortable. I have no idea who the guy on the left is. He was one of many who asked to “take a picture with the lion.” I felt like one of those characters at Disney, and, as you can tell by my face, I was really into it!
2. Favorite Candy: Anything sour and gummy
3. Most Afraid of: Ghosts
4. Favorite Halloween Movie: Hocus Pocus
Happy Halloween, friends!
