Me:

It’s always spooky season when you live in Britain

Pointing to the background characters in Blood on Satans Claw and saying "thats just us" for anyone curious about life in the UK

*nodding* so real.

They're still selling herb-dresses olives and bbq halloumi in Sainsbury's!

It's not halloween until autumn. And it's not autumn until I've had my first jacket spud. That's not happening until the existence of the sun becomes theoretical. So sometime next week. With cheese.

"Spooky season" can start after my birthday in 20 days thank you very much!

Still think that's slightly early, but I respect having standards.

What I should've said: My birthday at the earliest, but any time after October 1.

Earliest it starts is halloween and then it continues through to Christmas Eve.

Ooh hardcore.

I'm a big stickler for festivals being when that festival is meant to happen. Otherwise you might as well not bother having a festival and do that thing whenever you feel like it. And we've seen how that's gone down with fireworks.

I do think Halloween needs to be only the day and maybe a week or so before, it's getting silly and it's losing its vibe.

I also think we need less plastic stuff and more wicker and goats skulls and weird dolls made from sacking but I know this will never happen.

We need more crudely fashioned little straw dolls mysteriously hanging from a tree right outside your house

But what of the spectre haunting Europe?

Oh that guy? Yeah he's ok, he's cool.
