I'm not sure I can explain why we find vintage Halloween photos so creepy. Perhaps it's the homemade costumes. Perhaps it's the bland and bleak settings back when folks just left at a pumpkin on the stoop. Whatever it is, these not-pre-fabricated costumes are freaky and send a shiver down our spines. And, how appropriate. After all, it is that time of year.

What a fantastic collection! It's no small feat to find all those pictures and post them up - props. I hope you don't mind if I repost 4 of them. I'll credit back to this post.
