Halloween
Clown Care
“My husband and I left our daughter with my parents for the weekend so we could attend a wedding. It also happened to be Halloween. They said they’d dress her up to trick-or-treat…perhaps they got carried away.”

Spirit Halloween
“This is a picture of my kids at my house for a Halloween photo shoot. It’s my favourite holiday and I dressed my kids up for the 7 days leading up to Halloween! My little boy (age 1), wanted no part of his costumes, while my little girl (age 4), was a real poser!”

Culture Potpourri
“This is me as a child getting my picture taken at a local Toys ‘R Us. Not only am I getting my picture with Dracula but I am wearing Mork and Mindy suspenders and a Father Guido Sarducci shirt.”

Year Of The Mittens
“I made ‘mittens’ attached by a string for each of my daughters to wear in the mid-90s for Halloween.”

Baby Pumpkin
“This is my friend’s husband inside a pumpkin bounce house. Nothing better than a family outing where you see a live breech birth.”

Smoked
“My mom was always good at making Halloween costumes no matter what I wanted to be. She asked 8 year old me what I wanted to be so I said ‘a cigarette!” She got to work and made me a Marlboro, lit with ashes at the top. Needless to say, the school banned any cigarette related costumes the next year.”

Welcome to Pumpkin Land
“My brother at Pumpkin Land in the early 90s and Big Bird looks hungry.”

Milk Of Magnesia
“I took pride in creating my own costumes. I thought this costume would generate a lot of laughs. In retrospect, constipation is more funny to 9 year-olds than the population as a whole.”

Happy As A Clam
“My Halloween costume in 1992: spaghetti and clam sauce. There’s a big plexiglass fork on the side sticking up. My dad dribbled real clam juice all over me so no one would get too close at the middle school dance.”

Sharp Objects
“Florida, Halloween 1980. Me and my dad. My parents took a very liberal approach to the question of whether babies should be allowed to carve their own pumpkins.”
