Having grown up in 70s Britain, Halloween was not a thing here then, so I have no costume memories to share, good or bad. I did however star as a zombie in a very bad 80s student horror flick, so I’m saying that counts. It was appalling. In every sense of the word.

Could it be someone else's costume, Rex? I'm too lazy to disguise.

David: Same in Honduras when I was a kid, though some expat families celebrated. From the Honduran perspective, once a year the Americans dressed their children like monsters and went house to house asking for candy.

Other people's costume will be honored...
