Rick expected scary movies and trick-or-treat stories. Aggie brought skulls and snakes.

Rick Robinson and Aggie the Barkeep celebrate spooky season with the traditions that make Halloween their own. Aggie explains her animal-skull collection for the school biology lab, remembers the pet snake that became a neighborhood trick-or-treat attraction, and teases the next installment of her annual pun costume. Her ideal October day? Classic horror movies, a homemade cocktail, snacks, and painting little ghosts into thrift-store artwork—with the phone on silent.

Rick shares fall decorating and Halloween plans with his granddaughter Gracie, along with the small-town celebrations that feel like a Hallmark movie. The pair swap homemade costume stories, from a baby dressed as a baked potato to playing-card outfits, towel-made M&M costumes, and a Hershey’s Kiss passed down through the family.

Naturally, the conversation wanders into Christmas movies arriving before Halloween, soap-opera possessions, sci-fi frustrations, and the Stephen King book neither host has quite forgiven. It’s a funny, occasionally creepy night of Halloween memories, friendly sparring, and a firm request that Santa wait his turn.
