Antique halloween costumes

"The Glad Eye" costume is the stuff of nightmares. The "tomato" was actually in style as the pouf dress in the 1980s. The two offensive costumes I referenced earlier: Golliwog and the Klansman. The Klan was an American thing, but I guess it's appeal reached Great Britain. Sad. I know some people believe the Golliwog is a benign character, but I just don't see it that way. Here we see an outfit based on "The Kid," the Charlie Chaplin film of 1921 featuring Jackie Coogan as the Kid. Very sweet…

Before mass-produced costumes entered the scene, Halloween costumes were a lot more…creative. Forced to make their own masks, dresses, and props–often using highly questionable crafting…

Halloween’s still more than half a year away in the distant, mysterious, and far-off realm of Late 2021 (I wonder what that’s going to be like?), but some internet users are already thinking about what costumes they’ll be wearing and gathering intel early. And it’s all because of one little Twitter post that went viral.

They were not exactly traditional costumes at this period. They were designed very creatively and so stunning!
