POV: You made it to Halloweekend. Costumes on. Candy stocked. Plans set.

Now do yourself a favor — make it home safe.

Stick with your crew, stay lit (like literally — flashlights, glow sticks, all that), and don’t play too many spooky tricks.

Drivers: go slow, the streets are for trick-or-treaters tonight.

Let’s make smart the new spooky. Happy Halloween!
