Vintage 1950s photo of a kid dressed up as a skeleton getting ready to head out for some trick or treating. Love the 1950s house decor that you can sort of see in some of the image.

Adult Costume Ideas:

A Hershey Kiss walks into a bar…have you heard that joke? Me neither but it felt like a good introduction to this fun 1960s costume party photo. We have a bride & a groom, that Hershey Kiss and a move star maybe. Groovy gang!

1960s vintage photo of I think the same Halloween party as our Hershey Kiss photo above. This one features a man dressed up as a Victorian kid and a pretty woman in her 1960s dress & hairstyle (not sure if she is supposed to be someone).

I honestly have no clue if this is a Halloween party, but this “older lady mask” on our guitar playing entertainer does give off that Halloween party feel (circa 1950s). Love the little peek of saddle shoes on the lady in the back.
