I love Halloween Halloween when I was a
kid in England Halloween had not yet
taken on the the glorious American
trappings which it has now um we were
just nervous you were told that
Halloween was the night when the witches
came out and the ghost came out and when
you probably shouldn't be out of your
house and so on the evening of October
thirty-first we were just a bit scared
which seems like these days looking back
on it a waste of not just a perfectly
good holiday but the best possible
holliday and while I'm actually not the
biggest fan in the world of American
culture spreading I like to think that
the fact that right now I'm in London
and I'm walking the streets of London
and there are shops filled with giant
killer rabbits and murderers and bloody
hands and spiders and how much cooler
than that can you get really wonderful
so this is my holiday this is my
festival this is the one time of year
when I feel completely at home it's
creepy
