The Pilot asked students at College Park Elementary School in Costa

Mesa: What are you going to be for Halloween and why?

A princess. I don’t have any more costumes. It’s white and blue. It

looks like Cinderella.

Maria Calderon, 8, Costa Mesa

Bloody Mary, because I like blood. It’s white with pretend diamonds.

Stephanie Ponce, 8, Costa Mesa

A witch. A black witch. A good witch, because I like witches. I like

their magic powers.

Yessenia Cervantes, 8, Costa Mesa

A witch. One of the Craft Girls, Rachel. It’s a movie and the girl’s

name is Rachel. I like their magic powers, and how they dress is cool.

Michelle Reyes, 8, Costa Mesa

I’m gonna be a skeleton that bleeds in the chest. I like it because

the costume comes with a weapon and blood comes out of the chest when you

squeeze a fake heart. The weapon is like a little black stick with a

hook.

Omar Rangel, 9, Costa Mesa

Scream (the character in the movie), because I like his mouth. [The

costume] is cool. It glows in the dark.

Larry Lopez, 9, Costa Mesa

I’m gonna be a skeleton vampire. I just want to. It’s the cheapest

thing.

Austin Gilbert, 9, Costa Mesa
