"SPOILER ALERT if you haven't yet seen Weapons! The eeriest costume this Halloween season would be Aunt Gladys, with her odd copper wig, oversized sunglasses, blue eyeshadow, and smeary red lipstick. On the cheaper side, you can become one of the Weapons children by running across lawns in your pajamas with airplane arms and dead eyes. Happy Halloween from the Slate News Quiz."
