Wonderful!

Some incredibly artistic masks (and full costumes). Forget today's mass produced rubber ones--if some of the kids pictured here came to my door, I'd be a little unsettled. (Particularly if the Klan of little ghosts rang the bell... )

Thanks for sharing!

why is it that halloween costumes from the 30s on back were so creepy? and inventive. artistic, even.

Wonderful to see costumes that aren't filtered through Disney cartoons, TV series and horror movies, but expressive of the person ( or their parents!)

Fantastic Jonathon! and yes a little creepy too, but in a good way

I love how nearly all of them were clearly made at home.

Those are great!

Speaking of Halloween, have you heard about this California pumpkin grower? He uses a mold and so the pumpkins
come out looking like Frankenstein.
