The premise

Here’s the bit.

A fez-wearing salesman advertises a range of Halloween costumes for anyone tired of vampires and killer clowns. Instead of monsters, his catalogue offers the dreads of ordinary Irish adult life: bank managers, disappointed parents, cyclists, exhausted surgeons, charity street fundraisers and an ex appearing at the worst moment, plus walking embodiments of an expired motor tax disc, a cheap haircut, a pile of missed calls, a tradesman's quote and a financial audit. The final model, the landlord, looks exactly like a classic vampire.

Highly quotable.

Who's the last person you'd like to meet in a dark alleyway? Is it a charity collector?

I thought you were meant to be dressed as a landlord?

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
