Halloween means many things to different people. Some consider it a night to slut it up.

Others like to ham it up. (like me when I won a costume contest for this gem)

But back in the day my ever-fun-loving 73-year-old aunt had her own way of observing this classic spook fest.

Check out my latest Auntie video where she weighs in on her Halloween candy diet, pregnancy scares and things that go "bump" in the night.

What's your costume for this year? Tell me below and Happy Halloween!
