Mary Janes was the candy. They were 3 for a penny when I was a kid. My mother would never let me get a big mac at McDonald's because it cost 45 cents and that was too much.
Charlie Brown- The Great Pumpkin!
Yes!
I remember when I was young, many, many years ago we used to go out and got pillow cases full of goodies. Candied apples, pop corn balls, candy bars, when they were large, and cost little along with nickels and penny's
Sweet memories! 🥰
Yes had to carry a pillowcase! There were always close neighbor's that homemade goodies! And Sodas, toothbrush, change IDK how many times we were hobos!! Mommas always put Vaseline and instant coffee for a beard. I never had a bought custom.
As a kid going out on our own with no adult supervision. It was much more fun when it just us kids/teenagers going out getting 🍬, conversating about things in life and when done we traded our candy with each other. Trading the candy we did not like for candy we did like that someone else had. As an adult my best memory of Halloween is that of 10/31/2004. That marks the night I quit drinking and have been sober ever since.
I bet trading candy was fun, congratulations on your sobriety! 🥰
Yes it was and thank you
God bless , I have just recently put the bottle down myself. I hope in years to come I can be as blessed.
Good times.
I love your memories and pictures🥰. In 1964 my brother and I went trick or treating for the first time in Oneida Ky. We dressed up in old clothing too big for us, carrying a pillowcase to collect the treats. Our Grandparents drove us to town and parked at the local grocery while we ran around to the little houses in town,collecting more candy then we had ever seen! On the way home we caught a glimpse of a light on a porch down a dark lane. We begged our grandfather to stop for us to get the candy from 1 more house. He didn’t want to pull into the rugged lane in fear of his car “dragging” so he parked at the main road. We proceeded to venture down the dark lane toward the light, walking upon the creaky porch and knocking on the door, the door was opened by a kindly woman. We said “Trick or treat” and held out our pillowcase. The woman gasped, putting her hands to her mouth and hollered into the house “ Herman, do we have any of that fried chicken and cornbread left over from supper? There’s some poor little youngens out here starved to death, begging for food!” Herman came to the door with the food and his wife wrapped up the cold chicken into a dish towel and placed it gently into our pillowcase, followed by a big hunk of corn bread. Our eyes lit up and we smiled and said “Thank you very much!” We drove away, thrilled to have enough of the fried chicken and cornbread for the four of us. I always say that this was the “original and best Kentucky Fried Chicken” 🥰 . I love this memory of my first Halloween all those years ago.
Awe that’s the sweetest and funniest story! 😂🥰🎃
At my first Halloween I went as wood hauler. When I was young we only got one thing at Christmas and we got a stocking with fruit. So when I got my little wagon to haul wood to the house, I used it for my Halloween costume. I only went to 2 houses, I got a popcorn Carmel ball and a apple that is all I got. My times have changed. Happy Halloween y’all…..
Hey that sounds really sweet!!! Very special ❤️
I luvd Halloween as a kid. I lived in a very small town....everyone knew everybody and their kids....we would trick or treat until close to 10pm...It was such a good and innocent time!
Such sweet memories! 🥰🍬
Cori you talking about Atkinson peanut butter candies.. wrapper had black lines on them? Old fashion candies, love em. You two, cute as a button! When you didn’t want to get dress up you coulda said “I’m going as Katie” visa versa💕♊️
I think that’s them yes! And thank you!!! Good point ❤️🙏😂
I love the year y'all were the sailor & bumblebee. You know, Katie, that may have been the uniform of a female sailor. The Alice in Wonderland idea was smart so that both of you could be Alice and lead the people in. Y'all had a lot of fun on Halloween over the years.
You made me cry a few tears seeing your happy memories, your parents know how to parent.God Bless. Jean
Thank you God bless you! 🥰
It's fantastic that you young women can remember and replay these life experiences that you'all went through. It really becomes special when it is shared with us.
Thanks for watching! 🥰
My favorite candy.... was actually trick or treat TREATS that were always homemade for Halloween. Popcorn Balls and Caramel Apples!! Candied Apples were made then, too. But my favorite was Caramel!
Those are delicious, I’m with you on the caramel!
Ya'll do a lot like us taking pictures. Ours was the white door behind us. For some reason we always took our pictures in front of our white door. Ha Love watching you, I am from Arkansas . Now I live in California. I miss my small town.
Yes it was always that door 😂 thank you!
Love this video.so beautiful.i miss NC.its most beautiful state.the scenery is breath taking.love you three together.♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏🍁🍁🍁
Such precious memories of precious little girls. I love all the costumes and it's fun to hear you talk about your memories of Halloween memories!
🙏🥰
i grew up in the 60's and 70's in new york. halloween was parties. Older kids bombing each other with shaving cream and eggs. Trick or treat where very large shopping bags full. We'd go for a second round in another area. So big city big bags.
Sounds like fun and good memories
I love the molasses taffy with the peanut butter centers wrapped in orange or black waxed wrappers. No one had those for sale this year!!! My son (27) my mom (84) and I (60) handed out candy at my home church in VA for Trunk or treat. So much fun!! The lady next to us who is my age posted on her Facebook page that she remembered being "traumatized" as a kid when she went to an elderly lady's house a n.v d the woman had forgotten it was Halloween. She went to the kitchen and came back with a baked sweet potato and plopped it on top of her candy in her bag!! I thought that was a funny story.
That is a funny story! 😂
My Halloween Memories was remembering which homes gave out the best treats!!!
Absolutely!
Fun video of memory lane...you weren't only ones scared of The Wizard of Oz especially the monkeys. Happy Halloween!
Glad to know we aren’t alone! ❤️
Super cute photos ladies. I remembered when I dressed up like a ghost - they couldn't see me 🤣🤣
😭😂
Aww… such fun memories! Yeah - I liked watching scary movies growing up, but even I think Lewis Carrol was on some kind of acid trip or something when he wrote Alice in Wonderland. Freaky! 😂
Yes it was weird!
Yes, please do this for Christmas too! My favorite candy to get was (and is) Reeses pb cups! My favorite costume was a ninja costume that my grandma made me one year.
Thank you ladies for sharing your memories.
🙏❤️

Please stay the sweet, loving people you are and don't get jaded by some of the things we have to see in this old world. Bless both of you.
God bless! Thank you so much!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE 🎃🎃 🍺
🙏
I remember going out trick or treating with my next door neighbor friend. We lived near a big subdivision with hundreds of houses. We would go out and fill several big grocery bags (the old paper ones) with candy. We would fill up one bag, walk home, and get another one to fill. Sometimes we would stay out until 10:00 pm. I also made my costumes. I think I had a store bought one once when I was about 5 years old. My favorite costume was when my friend and I put on some short pants with no shirt or shoes. We wet our hair and our chests with water and wrapped a towel around our waists to appear as we had just stepped out of the shower. I remember my friend's aunt asking, "Are you boys jaybird under those towels?" When i would finally come home, i would pour out all my candy on my bed, and my Mom would come in and pick stuff that she liked. One of my favorites was the candy cigarettes. Fun times.
That’s a lot of candy and sweet memories 🥰
Young ladies don’t do as I did and blink twice because then you’ll be old also. But, it does have its perks. ❤️🇺🇸✝️
🙏❤️
As a child my favorite Halloween candy was always Snickers and Milky Way chocolates. We had a neighbor who served what she called "Blood Soup" in paper cups every Oct. 31, which was actually red fruit punch. I was scared to drink that stuff even though I'd be thirsty from eating candy!
Hey I love it! Such a sweet memory!
You guys always make me laugh. 😀👍❤ Thanks for sharing!
😭❤️🙏
Ladies I am 53 yrs old this year and from Kindergarten until Highschool me and my friends would always stop at Grandma Jackson's house for her molasses popcorn balls! Lol those were the best. I am the daddy of 2 daughters around ya'lls age and I made more costumes than I ever bought! Lol
Hey that’s awesome! What a sweet memory!
Bit O Honey !!!!
❤️
We went trick-or-treating around the neighborhood, disguised with plastic masks held on by elastic bands. Our dads walked with us and we used brown paper grocery sacks to hold our candy. Some houses were elaborately decorated and the folks handing out treats were in costume. There were a lot of red hots, atomic fireballs, jaw breakers, lollipops and pixie sticks. Our church always had a Halloween party - with games, caramel apples, popcorn balls and Rice Krispie treats. Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin was watched every year!
Sweet memories! I forgot all about the pixie sticks! 🍬😂
One of my funniest Halloweens ever was back around 1984. My pop had just baught an old push start chain saw and to keep us 6 kids away from it he hid it under his and my moms bed. That night after watching the Texas chainsaw massacre and everyone was getting ready for bed, pop was messing about and had carried mom into their bed room .without thinking he tossed mama on the bed and when she hit the bed the force turned on the chainsaw. The saw came up right beside my mother sending her into a screaming terror that fully trumped any from the movie we had all just watched. Needless to say , pop sold that chainsaw the next day.
Oh my gosh that’s crazy! That would terrify me! 😂😂
My mother never watched too many scary films again after that.
We always wore our parents old clothes . We were supposed to be bums. Loved Halloween. Corie you are so cute in every picture!!!!!!. I couldn't help but laugh at those Alice in Wonderland outfits. In all of my years, I have not or even wanted to read Alice in Wonderland.
It was fun listening to your Halloween memories. My son is your age, maybe a year older, so I am obviously not a kid or a young person. We never went trick or treating because we lived in the middle of nowhere. I remember my church youth group leaders were on their soap box about Halloween one year, so they held a "halloween" party at the church and wanted the youth to dress as their favorite character from the Bible. Don't get me wrong, I am a Born again Christian and full of faith, even back then, but I can have a bit of a contrary side. I showed up decked out as John the Baptist...beheaded. 😳😁 I don't think the adults quite knew what to do with me at that point! LOL
That’s funny! 😂🙏
That was fantastic great one there now! My funniest memory was my older brother who was like 6 foot plus then dressed up as Aunt Jemima this was in the 60s we never had bought costumes. Tootsie rolls are my down fall! Great one be safe out there!
I bet that was funny! 😂
I have a picture of me in a Zorro costume and my brother in a Bugs Bunny costume. The costume I do remember wearing a couple years in a row was homemade to resemble a hobo. Back then it was safe to give/receive fruit, popcorn balls, and other unwrapped candies and fruits.
Right. Things are different now, and sounds like you guys had great costumes!
Y’all are so funny! Cute pictures from your Halloween past. I will say y’all make me feel really old. My Halloween memories were back in the 60’s and early 70’s until 1973 when I stop going out because I was to old….way before y’all were even thought about. We always made our costumes too. That was the fun part, being creative with what we had around the house to make our costumes. I loved going out with my siblings. My favorite treat was homemade popcorn balls and homemade caramel apples that two neighbors made each year. One man always forgot so he gave us money like dimes, nickels or quarters, but never pennies. We thought we had struck it rich when we got a quarter…lol…aww them were the good old days! Happy Halloween Y’all!🎃👻
Oh wow! Sounds like a great time and a lot of fun. And homemade popcorn balls? That’s awesome!
Hi girls one of my memories of Halloween when we lived in Greensboro was getting an ice cream cone from a neighbour & I remember my mom making peanut butter fudge to give out to the trick or treaters oh it was so good. Love your videos ❤️♥️
That sounds yummy! 🍬😋
Awwwww this was fun! And y'all were so cute in your costumes. Loved this walk down memory lane. It brought back memories for me in my fun homemade costumes going around the neighborhood and coming home and looking through all the candy. But like you, all that candy gave me a tummy ache and then it wasn't so fun. Tfs your fun memories! 🎃❤🎃
Thanks for watching! 🎃🥰
Wow! An ad sponsor now. Congratulations!
Thank you. This is so precious!🇩🇪🙋♂️
I remember being Donald Duck once, and a clown several times. One year I bought a clown costume, but when I opened the package, I was greeted by a picture of Wolf Gal from "Li'l Abner". No time to go back to the store, so I went with it and got a few people calling me "sweetie' and "little girl". My sister still insists they all realized I was a boy, but I think she was just jealous that my get-up got more compliments than her fairy princess costume did. Oh, those candies with the striped wrapper are called Mary Janes. I liked the chocolate bars myself.
Yes that’s right, I can’t believe I forgot the name! 😂 That’s a funny story, I’m glad you went with Wolf Gal! 🐺🍬🥰😂
You girls are a hoot. Love seeing the journey you've traveled. We called it beggars night. We used a pillow case for our bag. Probably fill it at least 25% full with teeth rotting candy. It was a lot. Costume was your basic hobo look, with charcoal face. Back then it lasted as long as people kept answering the door... probably 2+ hours. Loved Halloween. You girls sure had some neat costumes.
Thank you!
Love the bloopers but Katie could wake the dead with that sneeze. I jumped but then started laughing. My favorite candy is Reese’s PN butter cups. Loved the video. Waiting now for a Thanksgiving memories video.
😂 she sneezes so loud 😱👍🙏😂
Y'all are so cute, just precious!!!
Great memories are always worth remembering!
This was a really good and fun video. It brought back alot of memories for me. Loved to get the candy bars, but in my time, Carmel apples and popcorn balls. Thank you for sharing.
Yes Carmel apples rock!
Katie, the rating as indicated on your left shoulder sleeve, of the sailor uniform you were wearing is for a Petty Officer, 3rd Class, Corpsman. They provide medical services for Navy and Marines. Corie, the candy with the peanut butter center was as I remember it as, Abba Zaba (very good tasting). Did you ever get JuJubes? Great seasonal story line format for the videos. Look forward for your next seasonal video. Your stories reminded me of how we did Halloween in our small rural community in Topanga Cyn, CA.💞
Hey yes that’s it! I forgot what specific suit it was! Thank you for reminding me! And thanks for watching!
I'm so happy that I came across your mom cooking videos she has help me so much with my cooking lol. And then watching y'all just amazing 💜❤️.
Trick or Treating. Back in the day we could get those in the box costumes with the plastic masks.They were cheap, so cost was not a big factor. We went all over as a group of kids. Parents didn't have to worry like they do now, and no I am not ancient.:) Thanks for sharing.
That’s right they didn’t have to worry! And thank you
Beautiful! An awesome throw back!
What a nice trip down memory lane for the two of you, and I really love your sense of humor! When Katie said that she went trick or treating as herself - that is so funny. And later Corie said that her photographic memory is better than Katie's photographic memory - you kill me with the banter and humor. And as always, the bloopers were great.
Thank you! 😂
My girls are about y’alls age and I swear they are just now appreciating my Halloween costumes for them. One thing they love to laugh and good humorously make fun of is my thrifty ways. I couldn’t fathom dumping $20 plus per child on a one time store bought costume so I’d go buy them a jogging pantsuit and according to what they were gonna be, that’d be the color- for example- 🐰 bunnies- I’d buy a pink set and pin white fluffy tails to their booty, make a headband set of ears and do up a cute bunny makeup face. So they’d be warm on Halloween night and I’d have an outfit they could wear afterwards instead of wasting money. 😂 they still poke fun at this one particular concept I used a lot.
Hey that’s the way to do it!! 🙏😂🐇
This was so fun to see you guys as little! Thank you for sharing great memories and pictures! My funniest memory is when I was about eight years old. In previous years my much older sisters would dress me up and do my makeup so well that I almost scared myself. I would either be a witch or a hobo…the scarier the better. Well, when I was eight my mother bought me my first (and only) Halloween costume. It was a pink ballerina with silver sequins and a fluffy tutu. I was very polite and grateful when she gave it to me, but then I went in my room and secretly cried so hard because I couldn’t be scary haha! The next year I was so happy when I put the pink fluffy thing on and it was way too small!
Haha! What a sweet and funny memory!
You 2 were so cute in your costumes when you were kids ! I'm like y'all, I never did scary , evil characters, raised like y'all...I always liked the little candy bars , like snickers, oh and the little m&m packs....thanks, y'all stay safe ....God bless...🙏
God bless! Thank you so much!
I always like Whompers...and still do. I cherry picked them out of the bowl at my doctor's office last week. Don't tell anyone 😎🎃
Your secrets safe with me! 😂🍬
Peanut M&M's !
Indeed!
Those were peanut butter logs. I love them. My favorite costume was a gypsy. I wore my moms skirt and she tied one of her scarves around my head.
Oh yes! And that sounds fun!
Your right Katie
My favorite candy was zagnut or butterfinger
Those were good!
I enjoyed seeing pix of you guys growing up.
I remember my parents would just turn us loose in town, it was the early 80s. Minier Il only had about 1000 people, we got tons of candy.
I bet it was fun
Also being a child of the 90's I really enjoyed this video! It made me remember old costumes and fun times!
Yes fun times!
👍! Thanks ❣️ my hugs to the mom🤫
Thanks
Ladies- you are great story-tellers. I enjoy your channel- looking forward to more videos.
Thank you!
My favorite candy was rice crispy treats and popcorn balls. You both were cute kids and look adorable in your costumes.
Those sound great! And thank you so much!
Soooo funny! Y'all were sooo cute! Lots of good memories. One year we dressed our daughter as a little old lady......made a bun and dusted baby powder in her hair, long dress with an apron, shawl, and wire frame glasses......our favorite. For years our church had HallowHim. A safe, alternative, and outreach festival on the big parking lot. The year I was in charge it rained!!! Oh my!!! Had to move everything into Sunday School rooms that the doors opened out. But everyone had a good time. 🍁🍂🎃🧡
Hey sounds like you guys had a lot of fun! And yes Halloween can be pretty scary for kids!!
^ ^ Ok Quines! You blow my mind every time! Its amazing that these traditions are passed on. In Scotland its called" guising" and yes you did have to make your own costume. So it is Halloween now.So Im going to dress up as a fox make some foxy cake,get really drunk and invite some people to my garden for a bonfire.Foxy Love VVxx
Very sweet! And thank you so much!
I grew up with three brothers. I absolutely enjoy the interaction between you two! What a joy it is for your parents to view this video. They did well and are blessed with you both!
God bless you! Thanks so much!
Happy Halloween. I am leaning for the folk school after church today. Looking forward to seeing you. I have Morning Song on Wednesday morning. Come have a laugh if its not too cold.
I was so scared of the flying monkeys! And I was the oldest kid. My little brothers and sisters would sit there and watch but I would always find a reason to be gone when that part came on because I was embarrassed to be the only scared one.
Hey you weren’t alone! Those things were creepy!
I just love photographic memory of you girls.I enjoy this video so much.you two are beautiful And God Bless you all.
This was fun! You girls were so cute. Thanks for sharing with us. Happy Halloween you two!
Cute costumes! 🤣 I loved anything chocolate for Halloween. The last time I dressed up for Halloween was when I was 19 or 20 years old. This girl I knew was a DJ at a radio station and had a party. I was dressed up as Hitler. I got some weird looks that night. LOL! 😱😀
Oh wow! Lol!
Loves these memories and pics of yours, ladies, so fun!!!! I have some fun memories of Halloween growing up. I was a kid of the seventies and we had a lot of fun, and things were a lot safer back then, but we were always careful, the big scare going around then was not to take apples from people as there was news of kids getting cut from razor blades stuck in the apple!! yikes!! Our elementary school had dress up day for Halloween and we would have a parade outside, we would walk a short distance around the surrounding neighborhood and the parents came and the neighbors would stand outside and watch us. My neighborhood was safe but we kept to certain areas, closest to our home and off main streets. Some houses gave the same things every year so we knew what to expect and it was fun. One house gave out homemade fudge, one gave popcorn balls, one neighbor's Dad worked for Wonder Bread and would give out little mini loaves of wonder bread! And, the Dentist of the neighborhood gave out mini tubes of Crest toothpaste, HA!! :-) So many fun costumes of friends and family, I remember most of my costumes were homemade too, and one year I was a Spanish Flamenco Dancer., Mom took an old poofy slip of hers, dyed it black and pinned on artificial flowers and made a really cool costume. One of our neighbors was a box of lucky Strike cigarettes, lol.. Her whole body was the box, covering her head as well and her arms and legs were sticking out, and 2 or 3 cigarettes coming out of the top..Great memories.. I think my favorite candies were the mini candy bars, Snickers, Milky Ways, Reeses... Fun memories..
Wow! Homemade fudge?! That’s awesome! Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun for sure! And yes things were safer for sure back then!
So Cory, if you have never seen it look up the Blind Mellon No Rain video. When I saw that bee costume that is the first thing I thought of. Pretty good song too if you've never heard it
I’ll look!
Really enjoyable video! Your Halloween memories are an absolute riot, girls. And in keeping with the mood you created for the trip down memory lane, your bloopers are over the top!
Thank you!
I’m with you. Chocolate 🍫
You looked Adorable in your Costumes.
Thank you
With you alwaysxMissCorwy
Great memories -= yes I remember many years ago - here in the south - people would have more than just candy - great fun - Thank You for sharing
It was great yes!
Reece Cups will always be my favorites whether it Halloween or not lol
Yes me too!
You all are fun to watch together. I had a brother that I was very close to but he has passed on now. Keep putting out these great videos. Halloween gives me Ghost Bumps
Gives us ghost bumps too! And god bless you!
Wed go to the mall, theyd make the stores give out stuff. Man they had great stuff haha
Y’all are too sweet! :)
How we couldn't it 😂😂😂😂
I really enjoyed hearing your recollections and seeing the sweet photos. I'm with y'all, I don't enjoy the super-scary (never did) and when raising ours, we kept Halloween cute (not dark, scary, demonic). THANK YOU FOR THIS, it was a lot of fun.
Yes it’s easier to keep it light hearted and better really. Thank you!
Nerds didn't exist when I was a kid. I don't even know what they are. I guess that makes me a nerd! ;)
Nerds are little sour hard candies. Chocolate candy is better!
@@sandip.7968 Thank you, Sandi. I agree with you; chocolate is king.
😂 nerds are good but chocolate is also so good!
It so nice to have these memories ya'll are great young ladies you don't find young ladies like ya'll. ❤👍👍👻☠
Hey thank you so much!
Lovely trip down memory lane!😊
❤️
I agree
Soooo cute!
Caramel covered apples that I made with my mom were the best.
Absolutely!
Most times, it was more of what was in your head than what was on your body. Ha ha! :)
Ya'll are hilarious!! Such a fun video & those bloopers had me rolling 🤣😂 thanks for the laughs ⚘⚘❤❤
😂 thank you!
Hey, that was fun. Thanks for sharing.
🙏
Fun memories.
I could tell some stories but they would not be as interesting as yours. Both of you crack me up. Funny, Amusing, and so full of life. Stay safe and can't wait until the next video. I do remember one time during Halloween that we hid in the graveyard and scared a guy really really bad. We got a whooping when we got home because he told his mama when he got home and his mama called my mama and it was on then.
