Getting ready for Halloween?

Well, while you're digging out the old costumes and candy … here's one more Halloween staple you need to brace yourself for:

Scary Halloween rhetoric on the presidential campaign trail.

“It’s good to be in Tampa. And of course, today is Halloween. All the kids are dressing up, doing scary things. That’s the way it is in the White House every day.”

That was Republican Bob Dole in 1996.

And here's Democrat Michael Dukakis in 1988:

“You're going to see ads about crime again. It's trick or treat time, isn't it.”

What's the scariest Halloween language heard from presidential candidates?

What's the silliest?

And which Senate candidate had to tell voters – a few weeks before Halloween – that she was not a witch?

Find out in the latest episode of C-SPAN's podcast "The Weekly."

You’ll hear many politicians talk about Halloween– which makes this episode spook-tacular.
