I always remember being very underwhelmed by Halloween as a child. Trick or treating felt a bit awkward, I was never rebellious enough for chucking eggs and I was always disappointed by the lack of horror on late night TV. Maybe it’s the English approach to Halloween coupled with the influence of American culture or maybe I was just a more macabre child than I realised, but I found all the childish ghost stories a bit dull. There was always an anticipation which was never lived up to.
