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
