 So it's the fifth annual Orca Halloween Parade. We're so happy to be here and say hi to all you folks that are going to be out trick or treating tonight. We can't wait to see all the kid costumes and the parent costumes as well. So hopefully you come on by to Orca and you give us a nice parade tonight. I can't wait to see what's up people's sleeves. Hi Renaissance princess. How are you? I'm good. How are you? Thanks for dropping off in this era and coming back from time and visiting us tonight. It's my pleasure. And we've got Dr. Robert on duty this evening as well. Anybody need some assistance? I'm here to help. I wouldn't be too sure of that but you know perhaps splinter, hangnail, something of that sort. Dr. Robert will be set and able to help you. And we'll see. It's all hollows eve tonight. It's very exciting. I wait for this night every year and it's because tonight what they say is that the veil between the spirit world and the living world is at its very thinnest. So if people feel like they want to go test out what the spirit world is like, hop on through. Oh, I see some people coming over and perhaps they're going to be very afraid. We've got a stormtrooper and Yoda and Darth Vader and Iron Man and the green guy. Trick or treat. Wait you guys turn around without even knowing it. Excellent choice. Have fun guys. Trick or treat. Yeah, you guys look great. May the force be with you. Hi, welcome. Come on over. Come show yourself. You're on Orca TV. Yeah. Hi to the folks at home. Hello everybody at home. You may have some candy. Oh, that's a big glove. You're still able to grab. Bye bye. I see more people. Oh, Dr. Robert. I see a patient coming your way. Well there's someone that has a knife stuck in their head that can't feel very good. And someone who needs attention. Have fun tonight. Come on over everybody. Come say hi. Don't be shy.

Very cool. Very creative. See you later guys. Have fun. Oh yes. It's a night of lots of walking. You have to walk because you eat so much candy. Hi. Come on over. You guys are fabulous. Wait. Would you like candy? I really like them. Can you see? Good. Can you hear? Oh good. Be safe. Are you the cat in the hat? Christmas kitty. Perfect. And you are a very special kind of bird. What kind of bird are you? I don't know. You don't know? Oh, that sounds good. With fangs. I love you. With fangs. I love it. Choose a treat. Happy Halloween. It's hard to do in your glove. Oh, you're trying really hard. You got it. Have fun. Bye-bye. Here, princess. I'm going to have you hold the ball if you don't mind. Hello, wolf man. Or a werewolf. Happy Halloween. You're welcome. Puppy dog. You look lovely. Oh, perfect. A classic. Bye-bye puppy dog. Thanks for coming. Bye-bye. Have a good night. You're welcome. Wow. I love to see what people decide to be and how they can be creative and kids mixing things together. Oh, and I see some adorable children walking our way over now. Come on over. We've got a builder and we've got, oh, look, we matched Snow Princess Elsa. My princess has treats for you. You did great. That's perfect. Yeah, well, of course you do. Happy Halloween. Happy Halloween. Bye-bye. And I love how the toolbox holds the candy. It's perfect. Just enough, too. Kids are like, I don't know why they let me take candy tonight. But they do. Some reason on the night, tonight only, children can go to people's houses that they don't know and get candy. It's a beautiful thing. It really is. It really is. There are some things about Halloween that I looked up for this very occasion. And did you know, Princess Evelyn, that, you know, and did you know, Princess Evelyn, that black and orange, obviously the colors of Halloween, there's a reason. See, there's information behind why we do the things that we do. There's history. And black obviously represents death. And orange represents endurance. So it's meant to signify the struggle between life and death that we talk about so much on Halloween. Hello, witches, witches everywhere. Happy Halloween. And Santa, you'll be busy later. One of Santa's helpers. Everyone needs helpers. Ho, ho, ho. Happy Halloween. Come on over, guys. If you want some candy, you got to come on over and say hello. Wow. Cool mask. So can you just let the folks at home see how cool turned this way? Because it looks to me like you made it yourself out of tinfoil. Is that correct? Not if that's correct. It seems like it might have been fairly easy to create. Not if that's correct. Excellent. Are you having a good time tonight? Happy Halloween. Very good. You nod really well. Happy Halloween. Hello, you guys. You look lovely. You look nice and warm. Yeah, very good idea. Hi, mom and dad. Do you need any candy? You're good. Interesting fact about Halloween is that Harry Houdini. Do you know who Harry Houdini is? Yeah. Why don't you describe for the people at home who Harry Houdini is? He's a magician, isn't he? A very famous magician. I almost said musician, but I didn't. And he was known for being able to get out of predicaments and being all chained up and being able to get out of things. He oddly enough, in 1926, died on Halloween. And he died because he suffered three punches to the gut, which resulted in appendicitis. Which killed him? Interesting tidbit about Halloween and Harry Houdini. Pretty cool, huh? Let's get this up in my sleeve here. And you know, it's funny because Halloween is celebrated in many different ways all over the world. There are a couple countries in Europe that are a little... I think Americans do it a little bit over the top, but you know, we're American. We do do things over the top, don't we? And I think that it's too commercial, but I love it. In Mexico, for instance, it's Day of the Dead. Dia de los Muertos. Thank you very much. You're such a smart Renaissance princess. And that's tomorrow, actually. And so tomorrow is All Saints Day. And the day after that is All Souls Day. So there are three days in a row during this time of year where we do ancestor worship and ancestor remembering. He's dressed up as a shopper, wheeling a shopping cart. I will put some candy in it. Actually, I found out that Ireland, oddly enough, Ireland is said to be the birthplace of Halloween. I don't know why. I think it's because of the Celtic tradition of Ireland. And that actually we've been celebrating people in the world have been celebrating Halloween in some form or another for over 6,000 years. That's a long time. I see a firefighter coming this way. Trick or treat, come on over. I can give you a candy. It lures them every time. God, I love kids. You learned about Halloween? I didn't do my research like you. I found out that over 50% of American households decorate their yards on Halloween. 50% of Americans do. What the other 50% is doing? I have no idea. But 50% decorate their yards for Halloween. I know I did. The other 50% are hibernating. The other 50% are hibernating? Dr. Robert. How's it going, ladies? Reporting for duty. Well, we've seen some firefighters and we've seen some pirates and we've seen a dog and a real dog now coming in. Hello. Come on in. Happy Halloween. Can you show the folks on the camera your costume? Thank you. Oh, she's got the best seat in the house. Good job, guys. Happy Halloween. Do you have people running after you tonight because they want to find you? I know those gloves. Happy Halloween. And jazzy cat. And fancy girl. You guys say hi to the camera. And ninja man. Hey, Dr. Robert's got some more candy. Oh, perfect. Thank you. You might have to use two hands. You are a survival guide. Would you like to choose some candy? Yes, please. Go ahead. Have a good night. You're welcome. Of course you can. Come on over here, guys. Some Harry Potter characters. Oh, do you recognize these people? I do. Professor McGonagall and Hagrid. Yes. And Harry. And which Harry Potter character are you? Nice. Oh, nice job, guys. Reena Tutu. Butterfly Princess Tutu. Oh, of course. Of course. Very nice. Way to get it all in for the one night. Yeah. It's perfect. You are welcome. Have fun. Thank you. Yes. She is going to show me. Oh, it's beautiful. Very nice. And look at you. Dragon. Whoppers are very popular. A pink mermaid. Is that... Oh, no. You're the one. It's the tail. What does a dragon say? Pretty funny. Would you like some candy? You guys did a great job. Have fun tonight. Happy Halloween. You got to go get some candy. Happy Halloween. I think someone's looking for you, mister. What's the Star Wars... Yeah, the Star Wars thing. The theme song. Stormtroopers everywhere. It's very popular. What do you mean? What you are? Oh, I'm sorry. I love it. Are you a fairy? Yeah. And I see a princess. In good and princess... There's a lot of people coming our way. 68% of people want chocolate for Halloween. Just so you know. 68% of children prefer chocolate. Happy Halloween. Goblin witchy kind of thing. Correct me. Oh, and a 19 poodle skirt. You're a banshee. She's a banshee. A banshee. Okay. Dragon dinosaur. And of course you are, darling. Of course you are. Have fun. Crush writer. Thank you. And a witch beautiful hat. Good job. I kicked our thing over. Look nice costume. I'm a little scared. Show the folks at hoe containers. I love it. Very creative. Nice job. It's Dorothy. The Wizard of Oz clan. Linda. Tin man. And the monkey lot. I hope you find your way home. Bye-bye. I love your ruby red slippers. Do we have a ninja? I feel very safe with so many ninjas nearby. Chick-a-tree. I see another very... Oh, it's a spider. It's like a very muscular Spider-Man. I see I show my age when I don't know what these kids are. Hello, very muscular Spider-Man ninja. What are you? You guys look lovely. Have you not lost it? Entire front is filled with candy? No, there's a bunch of bubble wrap in there too. Oh, I was going to say. Very clever. Very clever. And choose a chocolate. A wonderful ray and Darth Vader. Way to Cal Ferry. I was getting there. Wonderful. Wow. No, Julia has enough. Thanks. What are you? A lot of candy corn that get distributed on this day. A billion pieces of candy corn. Hello. Can you imagine having to count that? Hello, nice cape. To know that only 6% of children want gum on this night. So if you want to be the house that nobody ever goes back to, only give out gum. It's a strategy, really. It's a strategy. If you want to be a house that everybody goes to, give out full-size candy bars. Then you're in. You're in for a lot of money on this evening. Because you will make a kid's dream come true. It is true. So we'll see. We'll see if we get any more visitors tonight. I always wonder how old is too old to go trick-or-treating. What do you think about that, Renaissance princess? As long as you want to go trick-or-treating, go ahead. I like this game. It doesn't matter how old you are. So you don't think it would be weird if I went out trick-or-treating tonight? Well, I think that would be a little weird. Oh, then there is an age. I mean, you're an adult. Okay, so within reason. Yeah. So maybe if you own a home, then you should be getting candy, not using candy. Hello, Dolls Vader. We'll wait for you to get all set up. What's it like outside? Got it. Well, I hope you make out really well tonight. Are you thinking you're going to fill that bag? Maybe. Good luck. That's the hope, probably. Good luck. See you later. Ray Paul Top. Love the chest hair there, friend. Oh, look at that. The hair makes the outfit. Half of your head is on TV. Yeah, I see that. Yeah, okay. So many wonderful costumes. Dr. Robert, look at how quickly the bowl empties. I swear, I haven't had a piece. Nobody likes whoppers? I love whoppers. I'd rather ever heard she's buying whoppers. So, Renaissance princess, Scottish girls, are you Scottish? No. Scottish girls believed that they could see images of their future husband if they hung a wet towel or a wet sheet up in the fire on Halloween night. The image of their husband as opposed to your recording of people going trick-or-treating door-to-door to get candy started in 1927, the year after Harry Houdini died, as a matter of fact, and the first time that people ever were recorded going trick-or-treating in North America happened in the Lackey, Alberta, Canada. Huh, it's true. It's true. Here at ORCA, we want to be educational as well as public and government, all at the same time. Are people going to come and see us? Okay, so this is a good one for parents at home. And I think that this statistic actually needs to be a little bit higher, but from my research, it says that 90% of parents admit to stealing candy from their children's candy bags after Halloween. Only 90%, come on now. The other 10%, they were lying. They steal it too. Only I don't steal it. I do it right out in the open. Oh, you weren't supposed to hear that. Oh, well, I did. Evil times, people would go door to door and actually poor the peasants would go door to door and ask for prayers to be said for they're dearly departed. And in exchange for prayers being said for they're dearly departed, the peasants would receive something called a soul cake, which is kind of cool. It was called souling, going to look for soul cakes. I think they are looking for a modern version of a soul cake in the form of a Hershey's bar. Come on over and I'll give you some candy. It's not every day a grown-up's going to give you candy. So come on over, beautiful angel. Darling, how could I not know? Poke your bones. They look wonderful. Hello. Are you a champion? Yeah. Nice. Thank you. Is it hard to talk with those teeth? No? Kind of. Lots of choices. Lots of choices. What to do? Your friends are leaving. You better run to catch up. That's so great. Happening outside. Oh, what is... Okay, what's the newer R2-D2? BB-8. Thank you. I mean, I'm stuck with R2-D2. That's what I know, okay? And then they change it on me. I forgot already. I am Darth Vader. I don't think that you guys are supposed to be buddies. Perfect. See you later. You're really busy? Yeah. Lots of kids getting candy? Yes. Yeah. Are you going to get more later? Yeah. You're having a party? How fun. Don't stay up too late. I think Halloween should always be on a weekend. Oh, oh, oh, and a bottle of rum. I can't see. Is that a real beer? All right. Just checking. Hello, ladies. Wow, she's fine. What is... What do you think that is? Hello, Star Wars people. And you're... Vampire. Vampire. I don't have my teeth, though. You don't have your teeth? No, they're white chocolate. I know. It's hard to eat chocolate with those teeth. Oh, lovely costume. Very cool. Our ones are so confused this evening going, what is going on that we get to go and do this? I love it. I love it. What was your very favorite costume that you have ever, ever been? I don't remember all of them, but I remember I was a fairy princess one year in a little pink costume, and that was very cute. You were so little and so cute. Back when I could dress you. Let's see if we get more folks coming over to see us. So here is another thing to try out this evening. Folklore says that if you wear your clothes on inside out on this night, seriously, and you walk backwards. Now Folklore doesn't specify what distance you need to walk backwards with your clothes on inside out, but if you do that on all hollows eve, then when the clock strikes midnight, you will be rewarded with a vision of a witch. Why don't you try that? So let me decide to see a witch. In which case, try it out. Walk backwards on this night with your clothes on inside out. If you do not desire to see a witch, then wear your clothes regular, proceed forward, and don't look behind you. Okay then. Now I probably won't be awake, but if you do all of that, and you are awake at midnight, then you may see a witch. For you folks that try it out, let me know if it works out. We might be experiencing technical difficulties, I don't know. This entire time I may be not miked, and you are all just seeing me move my lips. I have no idea. Pounds of candy corn, that's what I was talking about. 35 million pounds of candy corn are distributed. That's a lot of candy corn. People seem to love candy corn. I think it's just okay. I think it's just okay. Oh, I have another fact for you, and then I will try to think of a Halloween joke. But another fact for you is that an average pumpkin, an average pumpkin, Evie, has 500 seeds. Lovely. Evie in particular really likes the insides of pumpkins. I really don't. And last night we carved ours, and the insides made her heave. So welcome, we will give you candy. Are you Hermione? What is your costume this year? Hermione green. I like your time turner. Come on over and we'll give you candy. Hello. Happy Halloween. Happy Halloween. You look great. Ladies, you look great. Love your jacket. Ugh, with a flair. Beautiful. Come in, we will put candy in your bucket. You want to? Yeah, you know. One, two, you're good. Just go with mama now. See you later. She's paralyzed with fear. Very cute. Good job. I know they're like, okay, we'll take the candy. Hey, do you know that 90% of parents sneak candy from their kids bag after the holiday? Are you in that percentage? I think you may be. It's really, you're doing it for the child's behalf. Really? That's what it's about. Hello. Have fun. You look beautiful. Come on over and show me your costume. You look fabulous. Walk, don't be nervous. Are you fired? Are you fired? So wonderful. Did you make your costume yourself? My mom did. Your mom's a genius. You should tell her that a lot. Okay. See you later. Dr. Rob, did you get more supplies for us? Boy. I'm surprised that there's still candy left out there for you to buy. We have more candy. We have more candy. Come and see us. We have lots of candy. Really, me saying that to little children would be so inappropriate any other day of the year. Oh, now someone I can recognize. Now he's going back to my time. Sesame Street on PBS. This I get. Okay. Thank you. Yay. Happy Halloween. Bye-bye. Whenever they'll give me candy. So sweet. Let's see. Oh, we've got like a ninja. Come on over and I'll give you a piece of candy. Yeah. That's not a bad deal. Chick-a-tree. Hello. Really good. Thank you. Really good. Oh, I see a very scary ghost. Come on over and I'll give you candy. We have lots of candy for you to come and get. You look wonderful. I like your bucket. See you later. Talk and say hi to the camera. Is everything going okay outside right now? Yeah. Yeah, it's cold. It's cold. Looks like you've got a ways to go. Get out for a few more hours. Start by getting some candy here. Come on over, Ballerina. You're beautiful. I love it when parents get into it. The Star Trek or the Star Wars? The Star Wars. Star Wars. See the streets. Oh, really. Out on the streets there's packed. There are so many people out there. It is a wonderful Halloween evening. And it's only getting started. Once we finish up here all the kids will go to the neighborhoods and they'll leave more trigger treating and a lot of candy. We have a banana and a monkey. A monkey and a banana? Perfect. Say hi. Hello. And let everybody see you. and let everybody see you. Hello, Ghostbuster. Have you seen any ghosts out there yet? So you don't have any in the contraption that traps them yet? She puffed my snowman. Right, right, right. Well, that's right. Hello, beautiful girls. We've got a gypsy and a fancy witch and a poodle skirt girl, 1950s. Look at your shoes. They look like saddle shoes. You look great, ladies. Have fun. Very nice. Thanks a lot. Hello. There you go for the full effect. That is wicked scary. You might need a doctor. I like the makeup. I formed it where I wanted it, and then I added the fake blood. That's really cool. I was just going to ask you if you wanted to do that one. Good for you. She's a little subdued. Yeah, yeah. Oh, right. I heard about that this year. I learned all about that. Bye, guys. Have fun. Hello, Stormtrooper. Don't shoot. Don't shoot. Oh, good choice. Out of the bowl. Candy. You look... It's one of my favorite colors. I can tell. Can you turn and wave to the camera? Oh, there's a spider. Is that a spider in your hair? That's what that is. That's cool. Have fun tonight. Look like a Minecraft person. Put your bucket down. It's those gloves. Those gloves. See you later, guys. So polite. Children are so polite. Parents have taught them well. Glad to see. Glad to know that Montpelier is a great place to be able to come out and do this stuff. So, you have doctor jokes? Well, feel free. Why didn't the skeleton cross the road? Because he didn't have the guts. Where does the boat go when it gets sick? Ta-da-da! Why are you doing that? So he doesn't know what he's seeing. Oh, okay. Says, when a patient was wheeled into our emergency room, I was on nurse duty. On a scale of zero to ten, I asked her, How bad is your pain? She shook her head saying, Oh, I don't know. I'm not good with math. The delivery could use some work, but the joke has merit. It's hard to do it with a surgical mask on. Yeah, it's a good thing you're not a real doctor. Hate to read it to you, but... Yeah, you got your degree online. Don't think that worked out very well. What? You being a real doctor. Why not? Hello, big tigger. Did you see the orc in the cranky? I love orca, Frankie, orcas. Fworkin' stuff. Fworkin' stuff, you know. I was trying to combine orca and frankincine. It doesn't really work. I see someone here to protect and serve. Come on over, police officer. It's okay. We'll come to you. To you, buddy. You don't need to worry. Bye-bye. Have fun. I think there is a fellow doctor here. Doctor, stat. You're needed in surgery. I know. You're running to surgery now? Thank you. Are you a giraffe? Lovely, toasty, warm. You are welcome. Come on over and get some treats. Oh, it's a mummy and a grim reaper and a storm... Help me. Stormtrooper? I'm gonna call it that. Have fun. Can you show everybody at home? Help two kitty cats. Traveling in a pair. Have fun. Oh, come on over. You guys are too beautiful to miss.

You guys did a nice job making a costume. See you later. Have fun. Happy Halloween. You look great. Perfect. I'm not hearing anything. Boom, boom. Maybe because that's not a real sunset. I think you should put the microphone up to your face when you're talking. I see you, ladybug. Even the doggie is dressed up. Or is that just his coat? Oh, he's Chewbacca. That is so funny. Very fun. Yeah, you too. How does shampoo does a ghost use? I don't know. What kind of shampoo does a ghost wear use? Shamboo. It's not that good. I get it. I know. It's called filler. That's right. I see some more kids. Come on over if you'd like some candy. We're going to need to open a whole other bag. Come on over, friend. Do you like whoppers? We got so many whoppers that we want them. Oh, it's a werewolf and a mystery man. That's a wicked cool costume. Oh, look at you guys. I love it. Did you want to say something to anybody at home? You're a snicker. Good. Happy Halloween. Good choice. Bye, friends. Have fun tonight. I would give you my coat, but you may not want to wear it. You don't need a coat. I know. Why do adults always want to put a coat on me? I'm going to have a good time getting more candy at other places. Oh, you're going to have to carry it. That's what happened. Are you a mutant turtle? Mute ninja turtle? May the forest be with you.

You got all sweet and lovey and then scary gnarly. He's rough around the edges. What's the Batman theme song? I can't remember. It's yourself already for camera. Continue these policies against our Native American populations. And we need to wake up and mainstream media needs to start paying attention. Amen. Amen. Woof, woof, woof. Lovely.

A wolf man and a beautiful ballerina princess and a ninja. Wow, that is some skirt. You can twirl very easily in that skirt. Up 90% of grown-ups. I'm telling you, I think it's more like a hundred. Oh, I am easily in that 90%. Steal their kids' candy after Halloween. Only 90% fessed up. Oh, no, it's a hundred percent. Get some candy. Princess Anna and the Wicked Witch. Are you going to come and get some candy from us? Or make a choice. I love doing the movie Frozen. Very brave. Oh, mystified. What is going on? We have a devil. I thought it was a devilish girl.
