Halloween movie choices depend on where you draw the line. Compare your own scare threshold with two very different benchmarks, including Ryan's pick of The Babadook as the scariest film he's seen. The other admission makes that comparison particularly interesting.

Candy has a threshold, too: how many people can you treat before full-size chocolate bars become an expensive commitment? An apartment building offers one answer. A village neighbour's revised head count gives the same question a whole different scale.

And how much of your supply makes it to the door? An eight-chocolates-a-day habit comes with a surprisingly specific research question about the assortment. There's a finding to hear before you accept the explanation.

Topics: scary movies, The Babadook, Halloween candy, neighbourhood traditions, chocolate assortments
