What's the Deal With Candy Corn Why So Many Haters at Halloween

Jon Prell — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 18:25:05 +0000

If you have listened to Leslie and I for any length of time at all, you know I am a huge fan of candy corn and Leslie hates it. How can anybody hate candy corn??

One of the first movies that Quenton and I saw when we started dating was 'Paranormal Activity.' I had read that the movie was shot very much like the low budget blockbuster, 'The Blair Witch Project,' with a hand held camera. Afraid that I would feel terrible, because of my extreme reaction to visual motion, I bravely entered the theatre and prepared to be both scared AND sickened. And, guess what, I'll probably do it all over again with 'Paranormal Activity 4!!!'
