Apparently, Halloween has a leaderboard now.
Reese’s has published a guide to 150 trick-or-treating streets across the country, and you can narrow the list by “Candy Haul” and “Haunt Level.” If you’ve ever wondered which neighborhood goes completely overboard in October, this is a fun place to start snooping.
The campaign launched October 1, with Christina Ricci and Kathy Najimy among the members of the brand’s Halloween Council. Reese’s picked the contenders; the overall winning street will be announced October 21.
How to find the streets near you
Open Reese’s full street guide and start with the region filters. You can also leave every region unchecked to browse the full list.
- Sort by State to work through the places geographically.
- Sort by Candy Haul to see Reese’s higher-scoring candy stops first.
- Sort by Haunt Level if you are here for the Halloween spectacle.
There are extra score filters, too. Candy Haul includes “Jackpot,” “Big Haul” and “Solid Haul,” while Haunt Level ranges from “Lightly Haunted” to “Ultra Haunted.” These are Reese’s campaign scores, so a 90-plus rating is not a promise about how much candy anyone will hand you.
Colorado Springs is right at the top of one list
Sorting by Haunt Level currently puts North Tejon Street in Colorado Springs first, with a 99.2 Haunt Score and an 85.5 Candy Haul Score. The entry points to the city’s Old North End.
That is some extremely specific neighborhood bragging material. Oklahoma City’s Northwest 18th Street and Rapid City’s West Boulevard are the next two entries under that sort.
Who gets the Halloween crown?
Reese’s says its selection drew on purchasing trends, walkability, local reputation and community information, including a survey of 15,000 residents. Its council includes Ricci, Najimy, Rachel Iwanyszyn, Zaire Alford and Macy Blackwell.
The brand says the street announced on October 21 will receive a Reese’s-filled block party in partnership with Zillow.
This is a brand-selected Halloween guide. Before planning a visit, check the neighborhood’s current Halloween arrangements and local hours; the scores do not establish that every house is participating or that a street has been assessed for safety.
