🔦

Stay visible

Add reflective tape or glow sticks to costumes, carry a flashlight, and stick to sidewalks so drivers can spot you in the dark.

🍬

Inspect the treats

Check candy for tampering or allergens before digging in, and skip anything homemade or unwrapped from unfamiliar sources.

🗺️

Plan the route

Map a familiar, well-lit route in advance, keep young children close, and agree on a meeting spot if a group splits up.

🕯️

Flame-free flicker

Use LED candles inside jack-o'-lanterns and décor to keep the glow without the fire hazard — especially near costumes.

All set?

Now find the perfect costume and start the countdown.
