among the dozens of collections i have is a big soft spot in my heart for vintage halloween decorations. the saying is true -- they just don't make 'em like they used to! recently i found a bunch at work and it made my DAY! some are in better shape than others, but a few are in near-mint condition. love em!
(this one's my FAVORITE!)
(vintage masks)
someone also found an old photo scrapbook in the basement at work and it had a bunch of halloween photos from the 50s/60s. how great are these?!
i know i've been saying this forever, but look for a new "inside hotel hot trash" post coming up next!

These are so great to see! I collect vintage halloween stuff too. Just made a killer find at the local Flea, in fact. Very cool post.

ReplyDeleteAwesome. I love that cat wearing the checkered pants. I think I have to miss Halloween this year because I'm moving that weekend! BOO!
ReplyDeleteI agree, these photos are great. Whenever I see an old photo I wonder about what happened to the people in them. The little boy in the first photo at the top far right looks like he could have grown up to be my junior high school teacher Mr. Kurrant (Current, the spelling escapes me). It's eerie, similar big ears and mouth placement. Not many of these kids look very happy or like the costumes were their idea. Maybe someone took too long setting up the picture.
