Vintage Halloween

Halloween events in the past very often took place at a church or community center, bonfires, corn mazes , bobbing for apples are all old fashioned types of activities people took part in, seeming to be more popular in the early 2oth century than today. Today these traditions are somewhat kept up but there is also lots more trick or treating and amusement parks get in on the fun now with scary rides and roller coasters and haunted houses for everyone to enjoy. Kids had simple ghost or goblin costumes,  or little girls and their cute little witch costumes, all thrown together at the last minute. There is something cozy and quaint about the Halloweens past, and the super cool decorations are making a comeback on websites during this time of year, we should all embrace a vintage style Halloween!

Ghost trains

Posted in Halloween, Men's Halloween Costumes on August 27th, 2010 by Helfyre

Everyone has a ghost train ride in their city at Halloween and they can be so much fun if well done. Trains travel through the woods or some other creepy dark place and people dressed in scary costumes jump out at you , and sinister jack 0 lanterns are around every corner. The train conductor is always really creepy looking himself , wearing an appropriately evil costume and mask . Sounds, light effects, and frightening characters make up a great train ride. Every city has one almost ,so its a great Halloween activity for any age.
