While Halloween is an exciting time of year, sometimes taking days or weeks to prepare for, there are nonetheless risks involved when going out at night. Being aware of possible risks is often the first step in staying safe, especially when in a new environment.

- Trust your instincts. If you feel unsafe at any point during "All Hallow's Eve," go with your gut.
- Avoid being alone or isolated with a "zombie" you don't know well. Let a trusted friend know where you are and whom you are with.
- Don't accept "apple cider" from people you don't know or trust and never leave your "apple cider" unattended. If you lose sight of your "apple cider," get a new one.
