With Halloween so close around the corner it only makes sense that this weeks Vintage Photo Tuesday is a Halloween Edition of images from the 1940s & 1950s (mostly the 50s).
Let the Spooky Spectacular begin!

Everyone wins a prize for best costume in this 1950’s Halloween party image. They all did a great job!
I will leave you with an image of my brother and I at Halloween in the 1980’s. What is hilarious about these costumes, is that I just had a conversation with my mom on Thanksgiving about how she felt that she did a really great job on our costumes each year. That was until I found this image and I asked my mom if this was the year she gave up 😉 lol!

Question Time: What are you being for Halloween this year? Going with a vintage look or something far removed from the vintage world?

Boy, they really committed, didn’t they? A pic with a sombrero, kerchief, and lampshade is the trifecta.
LOL! That it is! BINGO!
Haha there are some good efforts there. I love Robin Hood and the pumpkin. He looks pretty happy.
I liked Robin Hood to, the image reminded me of my dad. I envision he might of worn something like this back in the day.
Did you dress up for Halloween? The picture of you and your brother is funny. Some great costumes in these photos.
I did dress up. Check out my Instagram for pictures. I was pretty proud of this years outfit with the hubby.
