We're halfway into May and what to be for Halloween is obviously on our minds. This week Rob talks one of Halloween's most popular costumes, or as he calls it, THE Halloween costume.

It's as part of Halloween as pumpkins and plastic fangs.
Sometimes you don't wear a costume on Halloween. Perhaps a t shirt that has a pumpkin or a monster on it instead. Maybe one of these light up necklaces. This week Rob takes a look at some of the seasonal stuff we wear in place of a costume. Or as your shirt may say, 'This IS my costume'.
