Tips

• Try and persuade a friend that's going with you to go as a "Freddy Krueger Victim" Then they can say "Trick or Treat, Trick or Treat, Freddy got me in my sleep" and you can pretend to cut them.

Warnings

• Don't pretend to cut people with real claws. Doing so can make it seem like a threat. And they might take it seriously. Instead make some paper that can be necessary for making the sharp claws. But don't cut yourself or you might bleed.
