HALLOWEEN!

[RCMerchant]

I love Halloween-you can act like a moron all year long-but on Halloween its ok!
I remember my first Halloween costume-its was one of the cheap masks that came in a box with a weird smock. I was  a skeleton! We ran around kicking pumpkin heads!

OH! this IS Karloff's voice!

I can't remember what my first costume was. 

I do remember a few different ones I had when I waas young.  I can't recall what order they were in though. 

One of my costume was Captain America, that I insisted on having a stary cape with. 

There was what I considered a swamp monster.  It was a rubber mask of some green skinned bald monster, rubber frankenstein gloves, camouflage clothes, and a plastic executioners axe. 

Also, when Batman (the 89 version) came out I went as him that year in a costume my mom made for me.

I also remember a rubber skull mask and a mom-made skeleton outfit, but that may have belonged to my brother not me. 

Oh, and Egon from the Real Ghostbusters.

I was 5, and my Halloween costume was that of a rabbit. That is the 1st Halloween costume that I remember.

Retailers love Halloween, too, as I understand Halloween is the biggest retail season for them next to Christmas.

Halloween is when the rest of the weirdos catch up to we normal people. (Yes, I said that right.)
