Those costumes are much creepier than today's slick ones. My favorite is a witch I once knew whose make-up was a sight to behold :)

I'm glad to hear that you find them creepy, too!

I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about. No, none at all. *makes shifty eyes and stifles a cackle*

By the way, have I recommended Oculus to you? It's a new horror movie, and we really liked it. It's available streaming, and it stars Katee Sakhoff from Longmire.

Oculus? How about a post on this? More details, please!

[eldritchhobbit]

Will do! I'm working on my film rec post for the countdown now, and Oculus will be front and center!

Nope, it's not just you at all. There is something extra creepy about older photos with folk in Halloween costume.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this!

*shivers with you*

[eldritchhobbit]

ACK!!!!!!!!! *runs away flailing arms*

Well played, you. Well played.

Oh my... what a find! These are delightful. I wish more kids these days would wear homemade costumes instead of all dressing in the same commercial ones.

[eldritchhobbit]

I'm glad you enjoyed these, too! I agree with you 100%.

Oh, they are most definitely creepier than today's costumes. Heck, even my costumes (in the 70's) were creepier. And when the photos are in black and white.... All the more!

[eldritchhobbit]

Yes! Mine, too! You make a good point about the black-and-white nature of the photos, as well. You're right: that adds to the creep factor!
