Greta Johnsen talks with Caller Nicole about Halloween costume-making for her daughter, from a papier-mâché submarine to this year's sparkly, spandex-heavy Boo.

What You'll Hear:

From Dolly Parton to Boo: Nicole walks Greta through her daughter's costume history, including a full Dolly Parton era complete with bedazzled boots and street performances.

The Papier-Mâché Deep Dive: The two trade notes on wheat paste, balloons, and cardboard structures, proving that craft chaos is half the fun of Halloween.

Two-Headed Freaks and Hobo Ghosts: Nicole and Greta swap stories of strange childhood costumes, from a Styrofoam head stuffed in a jacket to a very confusing hobo ghost.
