I thought I'd start a thread here in the Halloween section for old pics of us in our finest costumes back in the day.
I don't know the years, but here are two of my sister and me........This first one I'm guessing is from the late 70s as I am a Shogun Warrior, while my younger sister was Wonder Woman. This is a pic taken at my Grandmother's house.
This second one is later as I am older, and I distinctly remember saving some grass cutting money to buy this cheapo werewolf latex mask at the Woolworths in town.........and I added a wig my Mom had from back in the 60s, along with a Nerf football for a hunch! I drew a lot of varied inspiration it would seem! My poor victim sister is a princess of some sort. This pic was taken by my Mom at our house.
If anyone else has any pics, please share them!

Awww, I loved those box costumes when I was a kid. That's pretty inventive to think to use a Nerf football for a hump. I'm hoping to get my linen closet cleaned out this summer, that's where all my pictures are. If I can get to it I'll get Hubby to scan some of my pictures.

Thanks for sharing your pics JT, those are cool!! Did your sister grow up with the same love for Halloween as you did?
I swear that my grandma owned a quilt just like the one on the sofa at your Grandma's house there..
I gotta borrow my Mom's albums to scan some shots, but I'll get on that. I can think of a couple right away that I'll have to strongly consider before posting, else y'all might make fun of me.

Nice pictures. I feel I must go to Moms house and ask for mine now.
