00:00Oh!
00:02Oh gosh.
00:04When I was really young, my older brother and I would usually do like paired costumes.
00:08And we went as like Mario and Luigi one year, and I was like a skeleton and he was like a zombie or something.
00:14The usual one, the witch.
00:18Wee Willy Winky.
00:22It's funny, like you get to a certain age and it kind of gets all fuzzy, especially when you're like 10, 11, 12, and you kind of phase out of it.
00:29Cowboys and Indians, I've been very small.
00:33I only remember a couple of mine. I remember when I was in the Beavers, we like had a Halloween party.
00:41And I remember I went to Matalan, and I don't remember the exact name of the costume, but it was just like a long black cloak and a wig.
00:47Like a white wig, and my mum did scary face paint, and then everyone else was like, you know, in really cute like costumes and everything.
00:53And I was just this big scary like, I looked like the stupid deaths guy from Horrible Histories.
00:58What kind of stuff did you get up to when you were younger celebrating Halloween?
01:02Oh gosh, just the usual.
01:05Looking for apples and treacle scones, you know, hanging from the pulley.
01:10The usual, going round the doors and doing a wee sing song for Halloween.
01:17And then I also remember like kind of obscure ones, like I had a Halloween party when I was a kid.
01:25We read this book in school called Vardack Paw, and I was the evil cat, I was Sally Bones.
01:33So, we have a couple like that.
01:36Well I was born in the Southside, I've just kind of moved on a wee bit, still kind of the Southside.
01:43We're having a community event, Halloween, this Thursday.
01:47So this is what I'm doing, I'm out looking for a costume.
01:51What are you going to go for?
01:53Anything that fits me, there just seems to be a total lack of adult costumes, you know.
