This time of year make-believe scary things, can turn into real tragedy.
Children are more likely to be killed or injured by drivers on Halloween, than any other day of the year.
Safe kids USA says while Halloween is meant to be fun, it can be deadly.
New numbers show twice the number of children die between 4 and 10 p.m. Halloween night than other days of the year.
Kronenwetter police say it's important for drivers to use extra caution tomorrow evening, and turn off and put away distractions like cell phones.
The Department says parents should also talk with their kids before they head out.
"Go over the rules beforehand. Let them know what the expectations are are, this is how we're going to cross the street," says Terry McHugh with the Kronenwetter Police Department.
Safety experts also recommend using face paint rather than a mask for a costume, and always have your child carry a flashlight or glow stick.
That advice for trick-or-treaters is even more important this year.
