This generation grew up breathing lead-infused air. This is a photo of the serial killers.

Pretty sure I had that very smurf mask as a kid. Funny to see my childhood's costumes looked at like the even older-timey ones were when I was younger.

Dawg what the fuck is that?

The Halloween goblins, give them treats lest they steal your liver and ransack your booze.

Now I understand the costumes in the video for Winonas Big Brown Beaver

I'm going be really disappointed if this video isn't staring Winona Ryder...

I swear those masks collected condensation from your breath moreso than silicon masks and left you with clammy slobberface.

And if you stuck your tongue out through the mouth hole you'd quickly learn the factory made the edges razor sharp.

Losing your tongue before eating your candy was the worst.

Raggedy Ann sees your fear.

Raggedy Ann doesn't care.

Raggedy Ann craves your soul.

I read this in Cuno.

I may be betraying my generation here, but is that Homelander between the Smurf and the KISS member?

Ah, okay, thanks. Know about him but never watched him. Daredevil stuff never appealed to me. Like, it's cool that you can do that and I'm sure it's thrilling, but it's never been interesting to me.

There are two Evels in this image, right? I'm not having an episode?

Now schools won't allow kids to wear mask for "safety" reasons. Even elementary students.

Fucking shitty plastic costumes lol

I think I'm starting to experience internet brain rot, I initially read the caption as "serial killers ready to GOON a Purge."

So is bottom right a kid in a Darth Vader mask wearing a Darth Vader shirt? Or is this a weird case of media pareidolia on my part.

[โ€“] nocturne@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

The masks typically came with a pvc "suit" of the character, but more often than not the suit had an image of the character rather than the character's costume.

Huh, today I learned. Kinda weird though given I've seen costumes from before and after this era which didn't do that. Is there a particular reason this was done or was it just a weird form of cost cutting?

Oh i remember this scene from Riverdale

Wait till you hear about how old-time circuses had dudes dressed as psycho-killers just doing tricks.

It's always Halloween in this house.
