Vintage Halloween is tied for first place in the countdown poll, so I give you these photographs of what costumes and masks used to look like before they were sold in bulk at party supply stores (and made slutty).
Vintage masks are, in some ways, creepier than the highly detailed rubber monster masks on sale today.
What the…?
Note the odd floating head.
Jesus Christ! Eyes…eyes…eyes…
Second one from the left: amazing.

So true about the masks. It’s not just a demon, it’s a demon in the uncanny valley!
That is a PERFECT way to put it!
I don’t think the third one down is supposed to be Halloween. Hey–that’s my Uncle Mort!
I mean the 5th.
Yeah, it’s definitely not…but it was too amazing to skip
Wonderful! Is that a floating head, Dana, or somebody just shorter than me?
There are not too many people shorter than me, so…it’s a head.
