Entertainment Garron Noone halloween
TikTok star Garron Noone is having none of this Irish Halloween tradition – and we don’t blame him
It’s Halloween, at the time of writing, and those who celebrate have no doubt stocked up on sweets to hand out to trick-or-treaters, bought or made a suitably terrifying costume, such as Donald Trump winning the election, and maybe carved a creepy face into a pumpkin.
Perhaps they’ve swerved the Americanism of making a jack-o’-lantern from a pumpkin and gone for something more traditional in the UK and Ireland – the swede, or turnip (depending on where you come from).
Well, we know one person who definitely isn’t doing that, and it’s singer, comedian and TikTok legend, Garron Noone.

“They’re fucking terrifying. I do not want this young man in my home.
I don’t want this to even know I exist. The more it knows, the more it can do.”
Fair point – very well made. TikTok spoke up.
Tried carving a turnip once nearly lost a finger and still have a hole in my wall.

As someone who HAS carved a turnip, as you carve a piece of your soul seeps into the turnip. It’s hard work & the longer it takes the darker it’s soul shard grows.

Also, carving a turnip is a full-on workout, who has time for that?

Carving is a nightmare but the smell with a candle in is pure nostalgia.

The people yearn for non-religious, non-oppressive celebrations of sugar. But we took it too far. https://t.co/BvUPwaqPK5

Turnips were the thing we used too in North Staffordshire in the early 70’s. Pure eeeevil. Glad to see I’m not alone in thinking that.
Pumpkins were a thing of make believe only seen in Cinderella films or Panto and in Charlie Brown books.

Carving turnips is impossible. You need tools for that job.

If you were curious as to how the pumpkin carving had gone, we’d say it’s about as good as anyone’s first attempt.

At least it doesn’t look like it’s in possession of ancient evil scrolls.
