Everyone probably saw this already and it’s past Halloween, but I’m posting it anyway…because: “sexy smelly old gym sock”.
Vintage Halloween costumes. (I avoided the overtly racist ones). It’s amazing how black-and-white amateur photography and lack of context can make small children wearing crappy costumes so freakish-looking.
1) A Harlequin clown that appears to be holding a face; 2) Skullhead; 3) Children dressed as witches 1956; 4) I have a vague feeling these masks might be racist, but I can’t figure out what they’re supposed to be; 5) More creepy masks; 6) A rabbit; 7) A row of devils

TO EVERYONE PASSING OUT HALLOWEEN CANDY TONIGHT
Tonight, a lot of creatures will visit your door. Be open minded. The child who is grabbing more than one piece of candy might have poor fine motor skills. The child who takes [what seems like] forever to choose one piece of candy might have motor planning issues. The child who does not say “trick-or-treat” or “thank you” might not yet be verbal. The child who looks disappointed when he sees your bowl might have a food allergy. The child who isn’t wearing a costume at all might have Sensory Processing Disorder or might place somewhere on the Autism Spectrum. The child who is screaming at the tome of her lungs might not be able to help it.
Please be nice. Be patient. It’s everyone’s Halloween. All parents want their children to have a good time tonight—including parents of kids with special needs or different abilities. Please help make tonight special for everyone!

- “Recommend me some fun horror movies!”
- “What are some scary (but not too scary) movies for kids?”
- “What are some good creepy, disturbing, or scary short films on youtube?”
- “Good (perhaps even great) recent horror-related novels?”
- “Recommend some books/collections of short stories or even poetry I would like if I am looking for some disturbing reads.”
- What’s the scariest website you’ve found?
1) A generally awesome Halloween mani by Emerald Sparkled 2) Spiderweb mani; 3) Bride of Frankenstein mani; 4) Orange and black water marble; 5) Bats in the windows; 6) Skull nail art
