Costume Changes of the Future
I grew up in th 80s so not a lot of people are going to want to continue, but I wanna look back in time and take a stroll down the Hallowenn Costume memory lane.
How have costumes changed over the years? I'm going to say a ton.
You can buy basically anything now a days to look like an extra in a movie. In the 80s Halloween costumes really started to change.
Consumers wanted something different, mainly kids, in my estimation when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles showed up.
It was no longer a little bear costume, or an M&M, it was Ghostbusters, TMNT and the next super hero on the block.
I really don't know that much about the times of yore, or what my parents' parents wore, but I can just guess. It was a hippie, or a famous couple or something out of Shakespeare.
Now you get suited and booted up no matter your age group. Now its about the accessories. What ever happened to the $3 face paint package so you can look like a Vampire. How about the ol' sheet over the head trick to look like a ghost.
You really didn't care that much about the eye holes to see, you just wanted the candy. No everything looks like it passed inspection of the highest standards.
I remember the coolest costume I ever wore. It was a Joker, from Batman, costume I got from Pansy's by the mall. It had the coolest mask and an outfit that let me look even more like the part. It was a couple of years ago and cost about $50 bucks and dang was it hot in that damn mask.
But I miss the facepaint. I also miss dressing up with my buddies in our favorite football player's jersey. Those were the days.
