Monday is Halloween and next week is the election — two of the scariest days of the year.

So, combining the two, here is my list of the most frightening political images that could end up being costumes or antics for Halloween night.

• Opening your door to 20 trick-or-treaters wearing Donald Trump masks, with dead squirrels on their heads.

• Gov. Gary Herbert dressed up as "Available Jones." "I'll give you a trick for $10,000."

• State Auditor John Dougall showing up at your door and asking to look over your credit card receipts.

• State budget boss Kristen Cox, at a government Halloween party, directing all department heads to turn in their expense reports.

• Sen. Mike Lee decked out in U.S. Supreme Court robes.

• Rep. LaVar Christensen standing up on the Utah House floor to launch into one of his four-hour orations while several House members need to go to the restroom.

• Rep. Jason Chaffetz wearing a Joe McCarthy mask and summoning you to testify before his oversight committee.

Doug Owens donning a Nancy Pelosi costume.

• Mike Weinholtz in doctor duds and handing out marijuana pills.

• House Speaker Greg Hughes wearing a Trump poll-watcher armband, exercising his constitutional right to carry a gun and asking you how you are going to vote.

• Rep. Chris Stewart dressed up as — you guessed it — Mussolini.

• Sen. Orrin Hatch appearing as, well, Sen. Orrin Hatch, carrying a guitar and belting out his own version of "Hotel California" — "I may check out any time I like, but I will never leave."

• Utah Republican Party Chairman James Evans carrying a tin cup and asking for donations to the state GOP to keep away the bill collectors.

• The entire core of the Utah Sheriffs' Association, all in uniform, standing on your porch and asking if you are employed by the federal government. If so, you must leave your home immediately.

• Rep. Rob Bishop dressed up like Mr. Potter from "It's a Wonderful Life" and questioning how much wilderness you selfishly are hoarding in your large backyard that could be turned over to the state and planted with drill rigs.

• Rep. Ken Ivory imitating P.T. Barnum and offering you a membership, for just $5,000, to his new "Save the Oil Driller" PAC.

• Rep. Mia Love, in a Paul Ryan costume, repeating, by memory, everything the U.S. House speaker has ever said.

• Utah Eagle Forum President Gayle Ruzicka dressed up like Nurse Ratched from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and demanding you build a Zion Curtain in your home to keep your wine rack in the kitchen hidden from your children.

• Independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin trick-or-treating as Michael Corleone of "Godfather" fame, threatening to break into your house and do your dishes, with the rest of the Mormon Mafia.

• Donald Trump Jr., in Utah for a last-minute push for his father's candidacy, setting up a trick-or-treat booth at a McMullin rally and handing out bags of Skittles.

• Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes, dressed as an undercover agent pretending to be a sex slaver's bodyguard, letting you know you can count on him to keep your daughters safe and, by the way, you can send him money for his U.S. Senate bid in 2018.
