Horrific, Old-School Halloween Costumes

Halloween is getting closer, homies, and if you don’t know what you’re dressing up as yet, you’d better get on it! There’s only twelve days left until the 31st! Don’t be one of those shopping-at-the-Walgreens-at-eight-PM-on-the-day-of-kind of people. There’s nothing left by then, and you’ll be out of luck. 😦 Need some ideas? Get a cool scarf and a wig; be Dr. Who (Tom Baker era) or Ridge Forrester. Get some red sweatsuits; go as Datarock. Get some lipstick and mascara and a wig; go as Robert Smith or Frank-N-Furter. Get some bacon; eat the bacon. If you’ve got a Santa suit, throw that thing on! Just make it work! 😉

Dressing up for Halloween doesn’t have to be so hard. People were dressing up long before Walmart existed. They probably had to walk a hundred miles through the woods in the dead of night to get that burlap sack to make a simple ghost costume. IFC recently put together a collection of some old costumes. I’d say the majority of those photos are pretty horrifying, especially this one:

This one’s pretty freaky, too.

What would you do if this gang arrived at your door?

Look, if they could do it, you can do it. You’ve gotta do it to get that candy, people.
