CHARLOTTE – Halloween is in full swing in the Panthers locker room. On Tuesday the rookies took their annual trip to the Levine Children’s Hospital in full costume, but the young guys aren't the only ones in the Halloween spirit.

Across the team Panthers players have planned out their costumes, filled their candy bowls and queued up their favorite scary movies. We decided to find out the players' favorite Halloween traditions, memories and what scares them the most.

LB ANDRE SMITH

Favorite candy: Starbursts

Favorite Halloween costume: Greek god

Favorite scary movie: "I'm not a scary movie guy. I have seen some, but I'd go with a thriller called 'Hush.' It's pretty intense."

Biggest fear: "I'm terrified of raccoons. Just growing up I was the only son in the house. I had two older sisters, so it was still my job to take out the trash. No matter how late at night it was, there were always raccoons. I used to hate going out there. You'd see them running around and I just got terrified. I knew one day I was going to go out there and get attacked by one. I'd open up the trash can, and one was going to pop out and tear my face off. Thank god it never happened. They just look like evil little creatures. You know how everybody loves dogs? Nobody likes raccoons."

Costume for this year: No costume, but he's planning to dress up his dogs.
