Best Ways To Be The Coolest Neighbor In Illinois

First things first: you have to hand out the best candy. The good candy. None of the tootsie rolls, licorice, or candy corn. Yeah, they're cheap, but they're gross. You need to stock up on Reese's, M&Ms, Kit Kats... get the list of best candy to buy here. Thank me later!

Next: you've got to decorate. Even just a few spooky lights, a skeleton on the porch, or ghost decorations will suffice. If you wanna go all 9 yards... get a fog machines, a spooky soundtrack, and caskets where skeletons pop out when you walk by. Now that's what I call the cool neighbor!

And finally: Never give out pencils on Halloween night. As much as parents appreciate it, don't do it. If it belons in your kid's desk in the classroom, don't hand it out. KIDS. WANT. CANDY. SUGAR. THINGS THAT WILL ROT THEIR TEETH.

The coolest neighbors are the ones who lean into the spirit of it all, not the ones who call the cops to get the kids off their lawn. Nobody likes that neighbor, trust me. Have the best attitude, be a kid at heart, and enjoy the season!
