GUEST: Katie Daubs, Toronto Star reporter

With Halloween landing on the same night as Game 6 of the World Series — and the Jays in it — Toronto is bracing for one of the busiest Fridays of the year. Whether you're heading out with the kids or planning to squeeze in some trick-or-treating before first pitch, you might be wondering: where are the best neighbourhoods to score big on candy?

This year, the Toronto Star crunched the numbers. Reporter Katie Daubs and the digital team ranked all 158 city neighbourhoods using actual data—from child density and pedestrian safety to candy sales and local lore—and created a Halloween vibe index. On this episode, we reveal which parts of the city truly deliver Halloween magic and which ones might just be phoning it in with a decorative spider or two.
