My Vintage Halloween

The fall spirit has found me!! Earlier this week I made fall baskets for my Scorpio friends celebrating their birthdays this month. I found maple candles and pumpkin spice candles and candy apples and apple cider tea and miniature pumpkins and, and, and... I dunno, just a whole lots of cool stuff!!

But I couldn't do all that for my Scorpio friends and not do something special for my bloggy friends too!! So because this Halloween has taken on a bit of a vintage feel for me this year I started a search for vintage Halloween photos. I tried to make a collection that would include something for everyone... So Behold and Feast Your Eyes on these wonderfully spooky vintage photos.....

Vintage Halloween Babes 
(Yes, Coffey for you!! - and for all the classy babes that follow me!!)














  
Vintage Masked Children

For My Bloggy Spooks (you know who you are!!)

These are some of the creepiest photos I've ever seen. Incidentally, they are also all children. Something about a child in a mask really makes my blood run cold...







Vintage Halloween Art 
(for all my artsy-fartsy bloggy friends!!)






Happy Halloween!!!

  1. The vintage Halloween art reminded me that I have a reproduction vintage Halloween postcard somewhere. I should find it and post a picture of it.

  6. I am a sucker for vintage pinups, the kids really were pure terror captured on film, and I loved the art (except it's making me feel like I need to go craft something orange!).

  7. Same here, vintage works for me too. Not so the creepy kids... I hate watching 'Village of the Damned' too!

  9. Back in the day I was hiding behind the door at the church Halloween party in my dead-man- with-an-axe-in-the-head-and-blood-all-over-my-face-and-shirt when Linda Argo walked in. I jumped out and yelled, “BOO!” She screamed and said, “Johnny, you almost scared my pants off.” I then yelled, “BOO, BOO, BOO!” I’ve always been like this, from an early age.

  10. Vintage Masked Children = Scary As Hell!

    Also reminded me of The Pint-Sized Slasher from the Fallout 3 video game.

  12. The spooky kids in masks were the most frightening. Of course, I think there's something inherently spooky about really old pictures with people in them. Neat post.

  13. I've always wondered about the bras those women wore back then. I mean everything looked so... er pointy!
