It's Emma here with the Phone Box Podcast, and I'm doing another special edition with Claire.

We have done special editions before about children's TV, and we're going to do one Halloween. And Claire, I haven't told you, but I want to do one about Christmas, 90s Christmases as well, where, of course, we'll mention Noel Edmonds Christmas, whatever the program is. Oh, don't cry. Oh, don't cry cry but this is a spooky um episode if you don't know I am the queen of Halloween I start celebrating Halloween from

September the 1st love it I love it all I have mugs decorations I've just got everything going on you can't see but my sister is wearing a Maleficent headband. Yeah why not? Wasn't even for the podcast just woke up like this. In fact they're real I actually have real horns. So we're going to talk about absolutely how crap 90s 80s and 90s Halloweens were. Yeah. Just the crappiest of the crap um we're gonna use the word crap a lot because we did it but not very good yeah i was thinking about it but we didn't even have like high expectations it wasn't like we were going oh no i'm just wearing a bin bag we were like yeah living the dream this is we didn't have any expectations of

anything higher than that claire i once saw an episode of beverly hills 90210 where they had the most spectacular halloween party ever and i thought i just want to go and live in america because i want to be like them i didn't see a pumpkin till i think i was in my 30s a real life pumpkin no not one and my followers my listeners said do you remember when people used to cut up turnips and swedes instead of pumpkins yeah in in the 1800s like how old are your followers Claire I'm telling you now this is a common thing people said carving a turnip or swede instead of a pumpkin we never did that i don't think i saw a turnip or a swede i'm not sure i've ever seen a swede we were born in the 20th century that's why we're

not actual i don't think so i think our parents would not buy a turnip to cut up to carve to carve a turnip how do you even carve a turnip because how would you pull the stuff out that dad was saying the other day that he was going to buy pumpkins to actually carve. And I said, oh, yeah. And he said, yeah. I said, so you're going to actually carve it? He said, yeah. And I said, and then get like all the stuff out of the, and he said, no.

Oh, does sound like a lot of hassle, isn't it? I probably won't buy that. Like I talked him out of it in about four seconds. I'm going to say i love halloween i hate the inside of pumpkins makes every single nerve in my body i want to burn because i hate it it stinks it's sloppy and it feels like it should be rude i don't want to ask any further questions about that i don't like it so it please do direct message if you ever carved a turnip or a seed because that's not something we did but that could just because mom and dad were being tight as i said i'm 45 not sure i've seen a swede i

certainly haven't tried a swede have you tried a a swede? I have in like stews and stuff, yeah. Not me. I bet you have. I've been like vegetable soup, but you just didn't realise. Oh, I've been secretly consuming swedes. Oh, I feel unfiltered. I'm a secret swede eater. Okay, so I'm going to go through the list of things that followers wanted us to talk about.

First of all, the classic 80s and 90s, your outfit just was a bin bag. Or a sheet if you were really classy. Bin bags and sheets, versatile. Because a bin bag, you could be a vampire. You could be a witch. You could be... A cat could be a witch you could be a cat a flipping black cat why go to crazy look what's the shop that I went to in America um oh I can't remember the name you what sorry spirit Halloween spirit of Halloween which to be honest is brilliant

when you could just wear a bin bag I tell you what if I gave one of my kids a bin bag now and said you're a vampire they ain't leaving the house and you know what not only that I just draw fangs on but you couldn't there wasn't like shops that you could just go and buy I mean we when we were dressing up we were little it was the 80s rather than 90s wasn't buy it. I mean, when we were dressing up, we were little. It was the 80s rather than 90s, wasn't it? Yeah. Because I do remember when we got to, like, 11 or – well, when I was, like, 11, that's when the Disney shop opened

and they had, like, Disney outfits and stuff. And then, like, proper – you could go and buy an outfit about things came in. And we just missed that and i remember being really sad at like 11 thinking i know i'm too old to get a bell dress but i want one i wouldn't class bell dress as a halloween outfit that's no that was when that was when you could go and buy outfits of something and then outfit buying became a thing when we couldn't just go to tesco's and buy an outfit it would be a bin bag it would be a bin bag and you wouldn't you wouldn't cut an armhole you just ram your arms through it yeah so it would be ripped and if you were really lucky and i don't

think our mom would ever let us do this You'd have a sheet and cut eye holes in. Yeah. I can't imagine what kind of 80s mother would let you cut holes in a sheet. I mean, it'd have to be a sheet that was already ripped. It'd have to be a sheet that you'd been sick on. And it was so stained that you wouldn't even look like a white ghost. You'd look like a ghost that was half sick or maybe skid mark, a skid mark ghost. And also, your mum weren't cutting nice little circles.

No, just an approximation of roundness. And also, you wouldn't get it in the middle of the sheet so it would be nicely balanced all the way around. You'd be cutting it in the wrong place. Some people did have nice costumes. We just didn't know them. Do you remember we did go to one fancy Halloween party? Katie Lee Fields. Yes.

The fact that we both remember Katie Lee Fields and she was a witch. I do remember that I remember just walking in and there was like proper Halloween decorations and apple bobbing and people had like real genuine face paints that looked like things and just being fully overwhelmed like what like like I'd walked into a movie set I vividly remember Katie Lee Field and if you're listening, Katie Lee Field I just want you to know this is a core memory I vividly remember them thinking they had actual green

face paint like grot bags off of the telly and I think they even had like professional witches hats. It was completely overwhelming. Claire, did we turn up in bin bags? Probably.

Did we just bowl up in a bin bag with fangs drawn on? I genuinely remember just walking through the door and just being like, what is going on? I feel that there was also a classic outfit. I think you, I'm sure a black leotard with a pair of tights stuffed could have passed as a cat yes definitely i feel you may have been a cat in this environment oh i'm okay with that well i think i was just rocking a bin bag looking at all the grot bags thinking jeez i'm out of my league wonder if there's any photos of that party was as like ho as I remember.

I bet when we look back at it, it's just not. But in my head, it was like being in a Disney Plus movie. In my head, and I know this isn't true. In my head, there was like dry ice on the floor. Listeners, there was no dry ice on the floor. But it's funny that you talk about Apple Bobbin because that also cropped up. I think that Katie Lee Fields part is the only time I've ever done apple bobbin I know I remember also going to a Halloween party at a church but we didn't really go to church I don't know what church it was maybe it was like with brownies was it the church of satan no I

think like at brownies or something there was a halloween party and there was apple bobbing and i remember just thinking this isn't fun why are we doing this if you were bobbing for my oh right okay there was a prize i was gonna say because if you were bobbing for if you were bobbing for a mars bar or a kit kat junkie or what would it have been back in the day um a marathon and a pack of opal fruits one bar i may have been but an apple and you wear an apple sloppy and they were never nice apples they felt like they were cooking apples off it's really hard to put your teeth into an apple when it's in water i know i mean i know that's the point of the game i do understand that is the point of the game that this is hard but it's not fun it's not fun and you'd

have a really wet face and all your makeup would be dripping down your neck not when you was in brownies he was wearing makeup to brownies no because it was a halloween party so people oh okay yeah okay so oh yeah yeah yeah that makes I thought you meant you were, like, rocking up a lot. Rocking up with green eyeshadow. Yeah, so apple bobbin, not a fan. So far, I'm not a fan of the innards of a pumpkin, or I'm not a fan of an apple bobbin. Neither of them.

I am a fan of a leotard and a pair of tights with newspaper in, pretending to be a cat. Yeah, that would have been good. I don't know what would have happened about the ears cardboard sell a tape to your head just you just don't need ears you just need some whiskers on your face you would have had whiskers on your face yeah and then the ears you'd have to just be like just imagine my ears we've missed out mummy toilet roll i did that one year just just wrapped wrapped in toilet roll just as a mummy um we didn't we did do a little bit of trick-or-treating I don't know if you remember there was like three houses in our road that we could go to we went to Gloria's house yeah I feel maybe did we go to

Hilary's house yeah and then there was another couple and apologies I can't remember what their name is they were an older couple and we went into their house, but I don't remember their name. Because dad didn't like trick-or-treating because he thought it was begging, which is so extreme. He was like, I'm not having my children begging. So he had to go to people's houses in the day and say, is it okay if Emma and Claire come round and have some sweets

and I think he might have even given them the sweets to give us I don't know but it was like a real like random stand to take and I know dad does listen to this and he will I'll get it in the neck for this now we'll be like yeah I do feel there was some it wasn't like now where you just go around and knock on people's houses. There was some sort of like, we come into your house, here's a Kit Kat, give it to them. And I feel like a trick, I felt like I had talcum powder and I was going to do something with the talc, if there's a trick or treat. And they said trick. But you wouldn't have.

I mean. Throwing it in Gloria's face. And also we were only going to three houses who already knew we were coming so the chances of them saying no okay so anybody out there let me know did you actually do proper trick-or-treating because ours involved going to the same three houses probably twice in our life in bin bags um and that was it getting a kit kat mike i tell you what this is no word of a lie last year i had 17 bags 17 17 bags of sweets and i ran out i am terrified for this year and it was raining hundreds hundreds come to this house and it wasn't like that back in the day was it no and you think back in the day with no stranger danger we'd be bopping all over

the place but no okay so we've got um the plastic masks with the elastic bit of string like frankenstein and if one of their masks cracked you'd slice your full cheek open. I'd quite like a Frankenstein mask. And the elastic would get all matted in your hair. And you'd be wearing that mask for four years straight. Yeah, I can imagine like a whisk mask. A whisk? A witch mask. Yeah, there's witch, Frankenstein.

Well, but again, the eyes were always too small. The mouth hole was the size of a one penny piece. And it would all get all sweaty inside when you were breathing. And you'd put your, stick your tongue out and you'd slash it as you were wringing your tongue back in. Because the mouth hole was too small. That was the joy, wasn't it, the danger? Trick or treat. The trick is you slice your tongue off

yeah great lovely i'm thinking you preferred 80s and 90s halloween to today i've got one of those masks now yeah on an adult face the 80s masks would just cover your nose. You would not be able to see out of the eyes. Yes, they were classic. And another classic, a witch hat with hair glued to the bottom. Now, this wasn't in our, that was out of our league. Yeah, well, was it though? Because I can, I have like memories of that, but not specific.

I feel like the hair might have been curly green like wiry hair yeah but I I don't think we had that you wear that as well yeah wear that with a frankenstein mask no I don't think we had that not even for halloween just to go out one that's missed missed off the list which I'm a bit sad about oh no it's on the list plastic witch fingers i've got some upstairs full glamour full full glam because when you were little false nails weren't a thing you'd be like oh look at me with my long nails well you wouldn't know would you because you'd never have 10 you'd maybe have 10 you'd have like one two on each finger two on each finger yeah you'd never have you'd never have 10 you wouldn't have 10. You'd have, like, two on each finger. Two on each finger doing a dance. Yeah, you'd never have 10. You wouldn't be popping out...

Because you'd be going to the corner shop, buying a couple of plastic witch fingers. You wouldn't be going out with a full set of 10. You'd maybe have one on your little finger and one maybe there. But you'd never... It'd be known for the thumbs. No.

Just wasn't a thing, was it? Also, Vampire 2. are we just coming across as real chance people other people were like yeah 10 was normal we're just like no look do you know what maybe i don't know i can't establish i am just going what people said and the fact that people have brought up all these things leads me to believe we all live the same life yeah i have like a real memory of like those plastic things just like scraping across your face just just the one little finger just going yeah all down your face what other things were um specific for you and and Halloween? It was just one day back in the day, wasn't it? Oh, yeah.

And you didn't have like, we didn't have Halloween decorations or anything in the house. No. I don't imagine even back in the day there was Halloween like bags to get trick or treat. I think I presume you just had it put in your hand or a plastic bag. Yeah. Yeah, I would have thought so yeah just take a little bag with you and put it in could you imagine if we get a little quick side if we get loads of diet messages going we were having massive parties we were living like queens eating pumpkin pie and

giant witches hats i was apple bobbing at brownies i was living the life too yeah i i i i feel in the 80s i think when i was a teenager it was nothing and i really truly believe it's only been the past five years that halloween has become a thing in england when i was a teenager i used to always i don't know where i was thinking about this and i don't know where i found any of this information from but I would always find like a spell that you have to do on Halloween that was like if you like light a candle and get some roses in a bowl and stir salt in it and then look in the mirror and say something three times then you would see like the love of your life in the mirror.

Yeah. And it was always like, if you do it on midnight at Halloween, and I would always like try and get like a sleepover with my friends to do it. And they would always just say no. That sounds terrible. No one would ever do it. That sounds terrible. Where did you get all that information from?

Because there was no internet. Was that in like just 17 or? But I was always trying to get... It must have been in like maybe it was in an episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

And my friends were like, absolutely not. Are we discovering that you're actually a witch? Well, no, because I never did any of them. Yeah, but if you did do them, maybe they would have come true. Yeah, I believe. I didn't do that i often made perfume with a bit of talc and and plants in the garden and thinking oh this is gonna smell ever so nice and it never did it smell absolutely disgusting but i never did a spell also okay very occasionally a ouija board was brought up

and i never did that because i i'm terrified we did what did it say it's not all. We used to do them all the time until we watched The Craft and then we were like, oh, no, we're all going to go to the insane asylum. Were they handmade Ouija boards? Yeah. Make them on a bit of paper. So you just write the alphabet, A through to Z, in order. And then yes or no.

And then there was like a little spell. and then yes or no and then there was like a little spell I'm not going to say because now I'm scared of them What kind of questions would you ask? Well I mean we'd ask like what am I going to do for a living

and who am I going to marry and all that kind of stuff but we also used to ask like what religion is real and like a black philosophy and I remember once we did a sleepover and we did it and the Ouija board told us that the way to rid the world of evil was to sing hymns so we were at a sleepover and like

we were all like 15 year old girls sat in a circle for two hours just singing like add the name of jesus right i presume it wasn't a spirit that was guiding you it was one of your friends so one of your friends guided you on a sleepover to sing two hours of hymns. Was it you? It wasn't me, but I had a lovely time. You are crazy. It's the kind of wild things we were getting up to. Crazy, wild days. Do you think that we were deprived

because we didn't have the big crazy Halloween season they have now? I mean, deprived is not... We were deprived because we didn't have the big crazy Halloween season they have now. Deprived is not the word because it wasn't like, it just wasn't a thing, was it? No, it just wasn't a flipping thing apart from our programme. I think Bonfire Night was bigger when we were younger. So it was like, that was the the excitement whereas I don't think bonfire nights is bigger thing now we used to go to bonfire night at pipe hayes park with my dad

because my mom used to work um taking the money yeah and every year without fail he I'd look be looking up and he'd drop an empty can on my head to pretend that a firework had landed in my hair. Why would you do that? I remember every, you know, the light up thing, the necklaces, the glow. Oh, yeah. Oh, do we have one of them? Well, they used to sell those and everyone would have them and we would say, we have one of them well they used to sell those and everyone would have them and we would

say we want one and dad used to tell us that he didn't wasn't going to get us because it was radioactive and you grow another head and we would say but all the other parents are buying their kids one and he would say yeah because they don't love their children you're really lucky because i love you and they don't love their children that's why they don't mind their children you're really lucky because I love you and they don't love their children that's why they don't mind them growing another head and the next day I'd go into school and see all the kids with like just feel really sad for them like oh bad luck guys this time next week you're gonna have two heads yeah yeah I don't imagine us ever getting one of them but I did get I did get a can dropped on my head um thinking it was um like I'm thinking that my hair was about to set on fire it seems to be he was treating us differently you

he was saying I don't want you to get two heads me he was saying I want you to think your actual real head is going to burn off oh the memories no I did love bonfire night i always remember being really cold i always remember where we lived in erdington um it being really smoky walking home it being really really smoky and it's smelling and um yeah bonfire night was was there a fair there as well maybe i don't remember fair oh you know what we haven't talked about toffee apples well yeah not toffee apples but uh it was halloween and bonfire night those chocolate covered apples why is that a treat it was like the most manky like like musty apple covered in the cheapest most disgusting chocolate with like gross sprinkles on and people are like here you go have that i'm gonna i'm actually i'm gonna disagree with you i'm gonna disagree with you

there is something about a dirty manky slightly bittery apple in a bit of chocolate or a bit of toffee that still gets me going the apple i just chew the toffee i throw the apple away or a bit of toffee that still gets me going. Toffee apple, I'd just chew the toffee off, throw the apple away. Just give me some toffee. But the chocolate ones, just, oh, God, no. You bite into it and it would all just shatter. Absolutely disgusting. The worst treat you can imagine.

We did have sparklers though. Oh yeah. And I feel that was at the time where we all thought if we had a sparkler, we were going to set on fire and that really sadly would be the end of us. Part of the excitement, wasn't it? Yeah. I'm still terrified of sparklers to this very day. I'm like, I have gloves on on but then I think oh my god the glove will melt to it make sure you put it on the ground and then I'm thinking is there a

I need a bucket of sand to pop it in and I don't own a bucket of sand so yeah sparklers we yeah we definitely had sparklers we definitely had manky apples we definitely had bin Apples. We definitely had Bin Bag for Arms. Our only real insight into proper Halloween was television shows, wasn't it? And Katie Lee Fieldhouse. And Katie Lee Fieldhouse, yeah. So maybe like Sabrina perhaps had Halloween stuff. What other ones? As I said, vividly recall Beverly Hills 90210.

I remember watching The Craft and that absolutely terrifying me that wasn't really Halloween was it Halloween? we used to watch Nightmare on Elm Street and all sorts yeah we did we used to go to Lindsay Rourke's house and go and watch my mum and dad were out, watch Freddy and all that

that's not right and I was like 11 I don't like horror films i love horror films and i love halloween and i love spooky even at my wedding like the tables were named after different things one of the tables at my wedding was named after the saw trilogy i don't think that's a good it's not we had blade the blade trilogy and the saw trilogy I can't remember if there's any other horror films but yeah we had we had some of the names I just love it I love everything about it what are you going to be doing for trick or treat um were you going to turn the lights off because Stephen went through a real phase

pre-kids lights off let's go to the cinema bar. No children live in my building and it's a gated community, so we don't have trick-or-treaters. Isn't she posh, listeners? Isn't she posh? And it's a gated community, so we don't have trick-or-treaters. Yeah, I'd say there was a good 10 years where steven would be like lights off off we pop we're going to the cinema we don't want to begin i once answered

the door to a 18 year old in a pig mask and i don't think i've ever been so scared in my life for me if you're if you're knocking after half past nine on halloween i ain't answering that because you're gonna murder me you got from half six i do remember when we were little like they're being like random teenagers i'm like september the 15th come and knock on the door and be like trick or treat and mom and dad just be like sign off because it was like no you just literally you're not even in costume and then like two days later they come back around and say like penny for the guy it's like no that's what i was just thinking i felt like there was money that we used to give out and also like they did carol singing like mid-december we don't do carol

singing two days after bonfire night yeah we don't do we don't do carol singing two days after bonfire night yeah we don't do carol singing anymore we as I said I do any for the guy isn't a thing anymore either is it no I don't know if we do guys do people still make men and burn them on fires I'm not sure they do

they do in some places do they is it inappropriate nowadays um I mean I'm not sure they do. They do in some places, but not... Do they? Is it inappropriate nowadays? I mean, it's a bit weird, isn't it? It is. I mean, you weren't a nice man. I remember, like, a Guy Fawkes would just be a pair of tights, stuffed with paper and elastic bands around to, like, make knees, another pair of elastic bands

make feet and then people go around and say give us money for it yeah that was a real weird that was a weird time wasn't it um my house will be full decorated i've actually this year got light a light show um to put ghosts on i know i've really gone to town this year of our light show i've got a six foot spider i've got 69 feet times two of spider web that can't be right it came in like a little but i think they've done the maths wrong there but i'm gonna put that up there's gonna be spiders um and it's just gonna be brilliant and i can't wait and i'm gonna dish out but if i have past nine i have like an inflatable outside the house and nine o'clock I'm deflating it.

You ain't welcome now. Yeah. So them's the rules. Anything else you'd like to add to this Halloween? What's your favourite spooky song? And if it's not get on the floor, oh no, that's the dinosaur. That's not even a spooky song. I don't know. I can't think of a spooky song. I don't know.

I can't think of any spooky songs. All I can think of, they did the mesh. That's what I was thinking. They did the monster mesh. That was quite a good impression. Yeah, there's no other spooky songs, is there? Not ones you know. There's a lot of Disney ones.

Spooky, scary Halloween. That's off TikTok, isn't it? You're not on TikTok, are you? What's the... I can't think. What are we going to sing then? Is that a monster song? No, that's a surfing

song. No, it's not. Anyway, listeners, if you know what she's just sang, let us know. So overall, do you think 80s and 90s Halloween were crapper than this year, the current Halloween? You know what? There was more creativity to it. No, there wasn't. It was a bin bag. What are you talking about?

You've gone mad. No. It's like, I'm just going to go to the shop and buy a costume. Whereas then it was like let me get some tights and shove some news newspaper in it make a towel it's a little bit more creative bit more effort yeah now you just go and buy stuff i quite like buying stuff well yeah we all do but i like a bit of face paint I'm quite good at doing face paints I've done the kids as um I did Erin as Sally from Jack and Sally which was a masterpiece and I like

to get out every year I loved our 80s and 90s Halloween and we will come back and we will do an 80s and 90s Christmas episode I think because it was happiest of days them Christmases were they were so much fun you know and i didn't get a can dropped on my head and think my hair was gonna go on fire on christmas day and you weren't told you you were begging that's gonna go bad all my school friends were gonna have uh two heads please do direct messages um if you relate to any of this or if we were living a completely different life someone needs to phone child line retrospectively look it hasn't done us any harm i mean i've got two heads but other than that i'm fine

right guys if you've enjoyed this video please leave it a little review you can always direct message me over on the phone box podcast or brummie mummy of two we're looking i'm looking for people to i really want people to voice note in maybe they can voice note in their christmas funny christmas stories or christmas memories or stuff they'd like us to talk about like like noel's um christmas presents what else would be a good 80s christmas christmas and mr blobby and stuff like that yeah favorite christmas number one favorite christmas decorations favorite christmas snacks voice notice we want to hear your voice and we can put you on here and other people can hear it as well just funny like funny things that your family did what your

little tradition because every family has specific traditions that they do on Christmas day I want to hear them I quite like that every family when I used to teach them I used to be an RE teacher and we used to year seven the second half term was my favorite because it was all about Christmas and they all had to write down their Christmas traditions and you'd have some crazy things, which they thought were completely normal, but was bonkers. Also, I want to know, do you open your presents as soon as you wake up
