Here is a look at my Halloween costume. We didn't have any parties to go to, so I kept it simple with stuff I already have. Sometimes that is the best way though! The only thing I bought specifically for Halloween was the hat, which I decorated myself. Outfit details will be below. Thanks to my wonderful husband for taking pictures of me. I apologize for any awkward faces in advance.. it was very windy and almost blew my hat away.
Halloween is my favorite holiday. I get to dress however I want, drink too much, eat too much candy, and give things to adorable children. Waaaaaay better than Christmas. Plus, I love gothic decor, so Halloween and I go hand in hand. In honor of my favorite time of the year, here are some of my favorite vintage postcards and truly terrifying costumes.
Now for some creepy as hell costumes. Today, we tend to lean more towards sexy, cute, cuddly, or funny. However, the Victorian and Edwardian eras knew how to make a kid wet themselves. Would you want to see any of these standing over your bed at night?
This one is just scary in a weird way. Those eyes will appear in your closet at random. Via Pinterest.
And in case you weren't already checking under the bed for haunts, this song will make you afraid to turn your head. Seriously, I fear this melody.
Like a feeling that I'm down
Deep inside my heart
Like I'm looking out through
Splitting blood red
Windows in my heart
From a higher up than heaven
And a harder down than stone
Shake the fear that always clawing
Pulls me clawing down alone
As I spitting splitting blood red
Breaking windows in my heart
And the past is taunting
Fear of ghosts
Is forcing me apart
And the further I get
From the things that I care about
The less I care about
How much further away I get...
I am lost again
With everything gone
And more alone
Than I have ever been
I expect you to understand
To feel it too
But I know that even if you will
You cannot ever help me
Nor can I
Ever help you
I will post photos of my costume later! Have a Happy Halloween!
