Happy Halloween everyone! It’s the day of celebrating and honouring the dead. And, you know, dressing up and getting lots of free candy.
In honour of the day, I thought I would post some photos I found of Halloween costumes from the days of yore.
There were no princesses, or super heroes, or everyday things slutified. Just kids in terrifying masks, dressing a little more scary, and a lot less kitschy.
No seriously, these costumes freak me out.
That last face is going to haunt my nightmares.

That is totally creepy!
We won’t see stuff like this for a while, now. School boards are banning any costumes that may be seen as “scary”. Also, no masks, no ethnic, racial or handicapped stereotypes, and no weapons. That goes for Little Bo Peep’s staff, too.
