As legend has it , though the story is seldom told , Dracula who has a "sweet tooth" rises from his crypt every year, just in time for Halloween. He then goes out and blends in with the other trick or treaters returning with a bag of candy to fill his coffin (candy stash), with just enough to hold him over to next year. So if you get a vampire ringing your doorbell on Halloween, be sure to be generous and give out an extra candy bar or two, because it might be him.
