Guising At Halloween (Let’s See, 1984, BBC)

 Here’s a nice little video that shows children ‘Guising’, which is what I did as a kid before Halloween became generally more Americanised in Scotland. There are far more Trick or Treaters than Guisers these days, and lots more pumpkins than turnips! The main difference I think, is in the telling of jokes, songs or rhymes to be rewarded with treats….we had to put some extra work in!

Hopefully this isn’t blocked in other countries…let me know if you can’t see it!

Don’t forget there are still lots of other Cryptkeepers posting their own Halloween content, including Lady M over at Lady M’s Haunted Parlour!  Check out some more by clicking the Hub badge below..
