Halloween

Question number five.

Less than a week until Halloween.

So...

What are you guys giving away this year? And when you hand it out, is there any strategy? Do you guys try to get rid of stuff you don't like first or, you know, the kids decide what's the game plan?

Yeah.

So I don't know.

It's kind of she really I love I love Halloween.

I love getting dressed up and I love scaring the kids.

Gosh, there has got to be a better way.

Halloween is this week.

Are you dressing up? That's my question.

I dress up every year.

I don't know if I have the will this year.

I just don't know if I do.

But I looked online to see what the hottest Halloween costumes were.

And I think

That's good.

On Sunday, everybody goes, I got an extra hour of Halloween.

Okay, whatever.

Fine.

Good.

Yes.

An extra hour of Halloween.

Who's going to yuck your yum? You know what? Absolutely.

Hello and welcome to the Graveyard Shift.

We are still continuing to celebrate the month of Halloween.

That's right, it's a whole month on this show and we don't have it any other way.

My name is Mike and I don't celebrate Candy Night alone.

And this starred Katie Stevens as Harper, Will Bertain as Nathan, Lauren McClain as Bailey.

That's right.

We mentioned before the McLean sister from Hubie Halloween that wasn't in that movie is in this one.

So it's pretty neat that we got two McLean sisters in a row.

It's sort of like when I see something I wasn't planning to go, like, for this November, and then all of a sudden I just saw something that was so different.

You might have had this kind of ongoing commitment to, you know, costume and ritual for a long time, especially having done a book called Dressed for Thrills, 100 Years of Halloween Masquerade Costume in America.

Previously to doing the book, I was... a collector of Halloween costumes.

I didn't set out to do that, but after collecting over 500 Halloween costumes, I had to sort of, you know, put it together and make a book to make sense out of all the material that I had collected.

And when you are at these locations, and it was either you or the co-curator, Steffi, who mentioned that this process was a little bit slower than perhaps your, I think it was the Haitian work where you really have to challenge to get somebody to stop from the parade.

And here you had a little bit more space and time to get someone to slow down, if I'm correct in that.

I also do work with like, you know, an instant camera so I can give people a photograph right away, which people seem to really enjoy that because nobody prints anything anymore.

So at least at the time I can give something and then later I can send people images back just via email.

Absolutely insane.

This is like the top trending new Halloween costume t-shirt of 2026.

I think it's safe to say with Halloween only a few days away.

Then we have a bunch of letter shirts.

It looks like some of the M&M shirts probably were removed.

No surprise there.

Of the letter shirts, curiously, or maybe if you watch Wheel of Fortune, maybe not so curiously, but the letter A and letter S seem to be the most popular in case you guys are making notes for next year.

Basically, Halloween shirts in the remainder of the top 10 spots, except for this one right here.

All right.

But, Dad, I believe that there was a song that Ty used to sing all the time during Halloween.

Thanks to Nick Jr., I don't like candy.

I don't like candy corn.

All right, here we go, Blake.

Here's one for Barbara Jean.

The first citywide celebration of Halloween was held in 1921 in the city of Anoka, California.

And it's a N O K a Anoka, Anoka, Minnesota.

So welcome Getters to the podcast.

We're going to talk about some photography horror stories today in honor of Halloween.

Yeah, so welcome to the podcast.

Finally got my husband on for a podcast, so he's bald.

But anyway, thanks so much for listening.

You guys are the best.

I hope you have a great Halloween spooky week.

Um, please be safe.

Anything you just missed from John Pennington and Bob Hodge, on demand and archived, available for you at 991thesportsanimal.com. Hey, John, do you give out – no, Bob, real quick, headset one more time.

Halloween question, yes or no? And don't lie to me because I'll know when you lie.

I can see it in your eyes.

Do you give out king-size candy bars for trick-or-treaters, or are you one of those fun-size houses? I don't
