Halloween
Beauty And The Beast
“When I was younger, my family and I would have themed Halloween costumes. This year was Beauty and the Beast. My aunt’s Lumiere costume was a crowd favorite, of course, and my older sister was forced to be Cogsworth just for the photo. The photo also features myself as Belle, my little sister as Chip, my mother at Mrs. Potts, and my dad as the Beast. It’s an odd picture, but one of my favorites from my childhood.”
And the year before…

Fallen Angel
She was the only kid in the neighborhood who dressed up as gravity.

Trick or Treat
“This is my husband, Mike, in the picture. The one dressed up as a vampire. He was about 8 according to my in-laws. That’s his grandmother, Linda, to the right laying in the hospital bed. On Halloween day, Linda started experiencing some pains and had to be rushed to the hospital and was told she needed surgery immediately. Being the loving grandmother that she is, she requested to see the grandchildren before going into the operating room. Though Mike’s mother informed Linda that he was already in costume and probably wouldn’t be appropriate for him to come to the hospital like that, Linda insisted she see all the grandchildren. Though Mike’s other siblings are out of shot, every time we come across this photo, we always bust out laughing. Who wouldn’t want to be visited by a short vampire right before surgery?”

Finger Licking Good
“I’m the baby and this was my first Halloween. I guess it shut me up when they put a finger in my mouth so my grandma thought it would be funny if she put her finger in my dad’s mouth to shut him up. And my great-grandma followed suit.”

Interview With A Vampire
“Back in the early 1970’s my crazy mother loved having big, over the top Halloween parties. At this one, she rented a coffin from a funeral home and laid in it for hours while my friends came to visit her. I think she was loaded personally. To this day, people remember her for this party!”

Behind The Awkwardness: The King
“Every Halloween until they’re old enough to say no, my mother makes a historically accurate Elvis costume for each of my sons. This was my middle son Leo’s first Halloween. My husband works for a Fortune 500 company in Memphis who does a fantastic family day every Halloween. They go all out, including “professional” photography. Since Leo was barely 6 months old and couldn’t sit up very well in the heavy costume, the photographer had my husband hold him and said he would crop him out of the final pic. Thankfully, he did not because this epically awkward photo was the result.”

Sad Devil
“This is my best friend on Halloween when she was about ten. She was NOT happy with her mother’s choice of costume for her, and apparently, the make-up job was sub-par as well because it looked, as she wailed with indignance, “It looks like I’m crying blood!”
