John Waters on Halloween pranks, parenting and how to foam at the mouth
When John Waters was young, the legendary filmmaker was more about the trick than the treat in Halloween.
"When I was young, I was a vandal on Halloween. I really looked forward to destruction on Halloween. My friend would pour gas all over lawns and then throw a match and the whole lawn would go up. Stuff like that. We were really bad kids. I mean, I didn’t really do that, but I was with him and I would run a lot. I used to take my best friend … when she was four I took her out and had her throw eggs at cars. … I’m happy to take a child to do their first trick on Halloween. It’s something I’ve tried to make my specialty with my nieces and nephews and friends’ kids. One egg."
