New Halloween word: Candy chute

Ohio man creates 'candy chute' to provide social distance, normalcy for trick-or-treaters

If someone can copy and paste the video, I would appreciate it.

DELHI, Ohio — Much like the rest of 2020, there’s a big question mark beside this year’s trick-or-treating.

Some places are considering no trick-or-treating at all while those that are allowing it are begging participants of beggars night to wear masks, wear gloves while handing out candy outside of the house and not to reach directly into the bowl.

If that’s the challenge – challenge accepted.

“It’s just always been something that I’ve been passionate about,” Andrew Beattie said.

Special effects, the horror genre and creepy, suspenseful things are what Beattie has always been into. It’s his love of Halloween that just might have lead to the best pandemic idea in 2020.

They're used to shouting angrily about masks being an infringement on their rights.

She asked about how to go about with the tradition of Halloween and now I can't find her thread.
