What is the ultimate classic Halloween costume?
Which sweaty ventilated plastic mask is for you?!
Back in the day, there was nothing better than searching through a department store's costume section. As soon as the leaves started turning, you could count on the Halloween section at your local shop. Woolworth's. Kresge's. Any five-and-dime worth your time had a Halloween section with tons of costumes to rummage through.
So, we want to know... Which one is the best? You've got an unlimited budget. Which are you picking?

Knew 2 brothers who would wear old man masks and would hand out candy to teen girls at Astro games. Funny guys.
20% werewolf
100% I picked a witch.
Monsters are always number one
Last year I went as Jerry Lewis...Hey Laaadie...very scary.
Pirate. They can Rob and pilage
I voted for "other" - How about the Burger King king?
Man I remember that. Im thinking there was even a Ronald McDonald costume. The big franchises were main stream back then.
sure were - they were fun places to go for "fast food" (now it isn't and you need a gold card to buy "fast food")
Spot on. Ya just bring your mortgage payment. It may be fast, but in no way cheap.
I used to get those Ben Cooper brand costumes in the cardboard box. The only ones I remember are one year I was the Road Runner, and Wile E. Coyote in another. I do remember that the last time I ever went I was 12 (I think), and that year we had snow on Halloween. I remember putting on a long skirt over my winter coat, with a head scarf and big hoop earrings, going as a gypsy. The only time I didn't wear a store bought costume. BTW, my mother absolutely forbid using 'her good pillowcases!' for collecting candy; for me it was a well-used paper shopping bag, probably from the Boston Store - easier to manage anyway, 'cause it had handles. 😊
and back in the day - all candy was good ; tootsie rolls ; smarties ; even an apple (no sharpened steel) ; any kind of bubble gum; mini snickers ; mini mr. goodbar; jolly rancher tart candy (LOVED the watermelon); I pass on the nasty candy corn
Oh, yes. I liked the Sour Apple Jolly Ranchers, myself. Oh, and remember there seemed to always be at least one person (in my neighborhood, anyway) who would give out baggies with a few pennies in them instead of candy? Of course, back then we still had actual 'penny candy', so a bag of pennies was always a good get. 😊
yep same here - had the same thing:)

I found an old photo the other day, from the early ‘60’s, of my little sister wearing the dime store version of a Tweety costume, complete with plastic mask. So cute.

70% Skeleton. Halloween when I was a kid was the greatest! I wish I could have those days again.
I would love to go back and go trick or treating as an 7 or 8 year old. It was so much fun. The anticipation was palpable. 🎃👻
for me it was Top Cat
20% Similar, I was Batman. My mom made me the entire suit by hand.
I was something different every year. One year she made me a fly costume, another time I'd watched "The Crawling Eye" movie, so she took a large box and turned it into the said creature. Great fun.

Sounds like you had a very creative Mom. Awesome!
and nowadays moms are driving around causing accidents texting on their CP
Always be yourself, unless you can be a cowboy. Then, always be a cowboy.
I was always a witch, which is why I chose "witch", which is of course the most popular. Halloween just isn't the same. Wish my children and grandchildren could experience it like I did.
water under the bridge and out to the ocean
I always dressed up as a bum using my dad's old suit coat 🧥
My brothers and sisters and I carried pillowcases to carry our candy.🍬🍭🍫🎃👻💀👹👺🤡🥸

I was a bum once too. Wore a mackinaw of my dad’s and a pair of baggy pants. My mother used some make-up on my face to make stubble. Why a bum I have no idea because I had been a cat, a ghost and a gypsy before that. We used pillow cases too. 🎃👻
20% Dad was a Air Force pilot so I'd dress in one of his old flight suits with flake blood and bandages.
Bum. 3%
Just wore my dad's old clothes 😂🤣😅 and rubbed charcoal on my face.

So was I. I was also a devil and had a pitchfork.
I did the exact same thing! I added a hat and candy cigarette. We children used pillowcases to "beg" with.
Was great when we were kids and Halloween was on a Saturday. Started the trick-or-treating around noon. We went to many other neighborhoods as well and got plenty of treats. Didn't eat all of that candy, of course. Gave some away and threw some out. Had skeleton costume and the rubber Frankenstein monster and Wolf Man masks. When I wore the Wolf Man mask, an old lady said I was a lion.
Where I grew up no one started trick or treating before 5 pm when dusk started to set in. Good times. 🎃
When I was a kid, Trick-or-Treat didn't even start until it was dark outside. These days, that's when it ends. And we went out on Halloween, not the Saturday before or after. If Halloween was on a Tuesday (or whatever), that's when we went out to collect candy. Nowadays, it's always on the Saturday before Halloween, and it's over before it's really even dark outside. Being a kid these days must suck.
