Mike Huckabee said Hillary Clinton's witch-like laughter is so terrifying that it would scare away trick-or-treaters from her house.

"The problem with Hillary trying to laugh and smile a lot — that's great advice ordinarily," said Huckabee on Fox News Thursday. "But Hillary is not natural as that, and when she laughs it comes across as a cackle," as he described the sound as "phony."

"If you listen to Hillary, when she gets upset, which is most of the time, her voice goes up almost an octave and she begins to scream," Huckabee said. "She's like the person that you never go trick-or-treating at her house because you're afraid she's going to open the door and throw the candy at you."

Huckabee said Trump can easily be "better prepared" for their next debate after his much-maligned performance, while the Democrat will be stuck with the fact that she is herself.

"I think Donald Trump is going to be better prepared this time," he said. "Hillary is going to be Hillary and that ain't good for her."
