British Halloweens



Me (Skeleton) Brother (Fire Demon), my neighbours and friends Emma (Witch) and Edward (little Goblin type thingy!)


 I found this video on Youtube that talks about how Halloween has changed in Britain in recent years...it gets a couple of things a bit wrong...we had shop bought masks over here way before John Carpenter and ET were a thing for instance, but it's mostly quite an accurate depiction of how things went over here, so I thought I'd share it..along with a few pictures I could find of Halloween's past!




Me (Skeleton) Brother (Vampire) my neice, Kerry (Tiny Child)


Evidence of cheap costumes! My older brother Malcolm and I dressed as vampires!


My brother dressed as Adam Ant...and me in tights and a fluffy cat hat dressed as Puss in Boots!


A trio of Dead Acrobats from a party I was at, proving that cheap costumes were still a thing way into the 2000s!



My cousin Steve (Mummy/Clown) and Me (Werewolf) at the same party!
