BOO! Happy Halloween

October 31, 2013

Happy Halloween everyone. Hope you’re all having fun being dressed up today, I’ve been seeing some cool outfits on Instagram this morning.

Yesterday when I was travelling down the rabbit hole of strange pageants I also came across lots of vintage Halloween photos from back in the day. A lot of them are of young children dressed quite simply, in strange-ass masks that literally scare the crap out of me. It feels like back in the day it was more about scaring people on Halloween, rather than trying to show as much skin as possible while still trying to look like a cute bunny (if you know what I mean?).

Anyway have a look at some of these and let me know if you think I’m right on the scare factor….Yikes.

*Got most of these photos from here

    I agree, too many slutty outfits and not enough scary ones. This post is great by the way.

    The 7th photo from the top freaks me out. Looks as if it might just be a scary person and not just a halloween costume. And that scary doll she is holding! “EEEK!” I’m going to have nightmares about this…

    i know, a few of them make me feel a bit weird, but they’re all still so damn cool 🙂
