Instead they demand handfuls of commercial candy bars from people, many of them strangers, on the collecting route. But the most alarming and unpleasant aspect of the new Halloween is that it【C7】______ evil-doing and food in the worst way. More criminal do some【C8】______ things -- put pins into candy bars and razors into apple-pies which caused people to【C9】______ this holiday to some extent. Halloween turns into an occasion of fear and nervousness. It seems that Halloween has been transformed into an event that brings out in us, not harmless fun, but a combination of eating too much, greed, and occasional 【C10】______ .
