The residents of Sterchi Hills are all-in for getting booed. It’s a pre-Halloween internet thing that’s quickly trending. How it works:
A Halloween boo is a small gift or treat left anonymously by a friend or neighbor, and once you’ve been booed, you’re expected to hang a picture of a ghost on your front door. This lets everyone know you’ve gotten your surprise. Then you are asked to boo two others. Amazing how quickly this spreads. Just skip those political brochures in your boo bags!
The great pumpkin(s)
