It's a good week when I get to write for Top Comments on Halloween and for Kitchen Table Kibitzing the day after. Have I mentioned that I love Halloween?
This morning, catilinus posted a Connect! Unite! Act! diary asking about the worst Halloween costumes we've ever seen. I don't think this is what he was going for, but the diary jogged my memory and reminded me of some pictures of vintage Halloween costumes that have been floating around the Internet for a while. Truth seems to be, we've really gotten mild when it comes to Halloween costumes. I saw a few costumes yesterday when I was out and about: a cat and a couple of others that were so boring that I don't even remember. When I was a kid, my costume of choice was a vampire, but I was the least convincing vampire ever. It seems that, in the era of black-and-white photos, they really took the scariness of Halloween seriously. If I ran into any of these costumes on the street, I'd either run as fast as I could or curl up and prepare for my demise. Hit the links above to look at all of the albums (and you can find many more if you google), but here are some of my favorites:
Have fun sleeping tonight.
How was your Halloween? Did you see any good costumes last night? But the real question is, how much stale candy corn is your kitchen candy jar going to be cursed with for the next few weeks? (That was a Halloween tradition in my house...) Or kibitz about whatever you'd like below...

Kitchen Table Kibitzing is a community series for those who wish to share part of the evening around a virtual kitchen table with kossacks who are caring and supportive of one another. So bring your stories, jokes, photos, funny pics, music, and interesting videos, as well as links—including quotations—to diaries, news stories, and books that you think this community would appreciate. Readers may notice that most who post diaries and comments in this series already know one another to some degree, but newcomers should not feel excluded. We welcome guests at our kitchen table, and hope to make some new friends as well.
