Halloween is just around the corner, and we're all gearing up for a night of tricks, treats, and spooky surprises. But before you dive headfirst into the festivities, it's crucial to remember that safety should be a top priority.

Whether you're a parent keeping an eye on your little monsters or a grown-up ready to embrace your inner child, we have some helpful tips to help you avoid a nightmare on your street!

• Ensure your house's trick-or-treating path is clear of any tripping or slipping hazards, such as electrical cords, hoses, sprinklers, branches, and debris. 
• Plan your route in advance to avoid streets that don't have streetlights or sidewalks. 
• Advise your children to only eat their candy once they get home so you can inspect it for signs of tampering, such as discoloration, tiny pinholes, open wrappers, or no wrapper. 
• Drive Safe! Be alert and drive at reduced speeds in residential areas. Always designate a sober driver before attending or hosting Halloween parties. 
• Ensure your furry friends are secure and away from the front door to prevent them from escaping when greeting trick-or-treaters.
• Use battery-operated candles instead of real flames in jack-o'-lanterns to prevent fires.
• Secure all tails, capes, and other long trailing fabric on costumes to avoid tripping hazards. 
• Carry flashlights or glow sticks and add reflective tape to costumes for visibility. 
• Consider face paint and make-up instead of a mask to help your monsters see better. 
• Always travel in a group and make sure young trick-or-treaters are accompanied by a responsible adult.
