A selection of Jimmy Fallon's favourite Halloween fails

The Late Show host Jimmy Fallon is fond of asking his viewers to share their stories, good and bad.

More often than not their fail-worthy anecdotes are the best part of the show, and Halloween has thrown up some of the best, including:

One year we ran out of candy so my mom sent me to trick or treat our neighbours so we could get more candy to hand out.

I went dressed as Ursula from the Little Mermaid and someone asked me if I was Guy Fieri.
