I've always loved Halloween - the vibe, the ghoulish fashion, all those cheesy horror films, party games and lots of pumpkins. Is this down to me being a goth back in my late teens and early twenties? Probably.
Back then, with the nights getting colder and the weather suitably gloomy, I loved sitting down in a dimly-lit room and blasting out stuff like First And Last And Always by the Sisters Of Mercy, Elizium by Fields Of The Nephilim and Disintegration by The Cure. And while I may not have enough hair to crimp these days and it's definitely more grey than black, I still love this time of year - and it's arguably a bigger occasion now than it was in 1990.
