1 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:14,759 Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, Johnny Mack with five good news 2 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,199 Halloween stories. Let's road for Grace Goul. She's from Eerie 3 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,120 and she's a quarter finalist in the Face of Halloween 4 00:00:22,199 --> 00:00:25,399 twenty twenty five online competition. Now she spells her last 5 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,839 name g u e L. I pronounced it Ghoul. Maybe 6 00:00:28,839 --> 00:00:31,640 it's Guel, or maybe it's just the perfect name for 7 00:00:31,719 --> 00:00:34,640 somebody in the Face of Halloween twenty twenty five online competition. 8 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,200 The contest raises funds for the Starlight Children's Foundation. Public 9 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,119 voting determines the winner, who will receive thirteen grand at 10 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,359 a feature in Rue morg magazine. Her birthday is on Halloween. 11 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,799 Her last name is Ghoul or Guel. She's perfect. Founded 12 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,039 in nineteen eighty two, Starlight Children's Foundation is a nonprofit 13 00:00:53,119 --> 00:00:56,240 organization that delivers happiness to seriously ill children and their 14 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,359 families through programs and initiatives. Goule said, there was an 15 00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:01,000 ad in my Facebok book feed. I clicked to learn 16 00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:02,960 what it was, and then when I saw it, I 17 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,400 was hooked. I submitted an applicant entry and then received 18 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,280 an email. I was accepted and invited to fill out 19 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,200 a contest and form. She describes her entry as a 20 00:01:10,239 --> 00:01:13,120 mix of humor and heart, and says, Halloween has always 21 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,400 meant more to me than costumes and candy. It's my birthday, 22 00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:16,959 and it was the day my dad made me feel 23 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,640 like the most special kid in the world. He'd bake 24 00:01:18,719 --> 00:01:20,879 and decorate my cake, filled the house with balloons and streamers, 25 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,719 and would take me and my friends and haunted houses. 26 00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:25,439 Since he passed away in twenty twenty two, Halloween hasn't 27 00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:27,560 felt the same. But my fiance has helped keep that 28 00:01:27,599 --> 00:01:30,599 magic alive, celebrating meat, encouraging my wild ideas, and reminded 29 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,480 me that love is what makes any day special. She 30 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,920 fondly remembers when her dad searched for a Michael Myers costume, 31 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,560 not Mike Myers, Michael Meyers, the Halloween Guy for her 32 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,799 twelfth birthday. She said, back then it wasn't a common 33 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,040 costume to find, but he always supported and went along 34 00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:48,000 with my crazy ideas and requests. If she wins, not 35 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,680 only does she get the cash prize and the future 36 00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:52,159 of the magazine, she gets a chance to meet Jimmie 37 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,200 Lee Curtis and says, I'll spend the unlucky thirteen thousand 38 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,200 dollars on an hour, Haunted Nuptials and Honeymoon Bury some 39 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,879 away in saving in reserve a slice for a Cadillac Superior. 40 00:02:02,879 --> 00:02:05,920 Hearse because nothing says happily ever After like a gothic 41 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,080 getaway car. Love it, good luck.

I saw that and I was like, 78 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,560 I don't know if that's going to be appropriate. It 79 00:04:04,639 --> 00:04:06,599 is appropriate. I don't know what you were thinking adult 80 00:04:06,639 --> 00:04:09,759 aween is. It's not that at all. This survey shows 81 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,520 that over half of adults fifty four percent, believe they 82 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,160 deserve their own adults Halloween night without childcare responsibilities. I agree. 83 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,360 I hit the brewery. They have a little costume contest, 84 00:04:19,439 --> 00:04:22,199 have a couple of beers. We never win. I still 85 00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:24,480 think my Bill Belichick costume from two years ago was 86 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,639 spot on. The study also reveals that sixty five percent 87 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,519 of adults would rather face a haunted house than running 88 00:04:30,519 --> 00:04:34,360 into their ex Sixty two percent of adults believe Halloween 89 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,399 is as much for adults as it is for children's. 90 00:04:36,439 --> 00:04:38,839 Seventy one percent of parents agree Halloween belongs to grown ups. 91 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,240 Forty seven percent of adults named Halloween as their favorite holiday. 92 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,079 Sixty four percent by candy even if they don't expect 93 00:04:45,079 --> 00:04:46,639 trick or treaters yeah, I live up on the hill. 94 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,720 We never get any.

Fifty eight percent of adults believe 96 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,000 they can take candy when accompanying trick or treaters. Now 97 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,120 I don't do that. I mean, I don't go trick 98 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,279 or treating anymore. My children are grown. But you know 99 00:04:58,319 --> 00:05:00,000 I was a trick or treat dad for a while. 100 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,439 All seventy six percent on full sized candy bars, Seventy 101 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,319 two percent prefer premium chocolate bars, Seventy two percent prefer 102 00:05:07,439 --> 00:05:11,480 familiar flavors over novelty options.
