As the title suggests, I want your vintage Halloween pictures for an upcoming feature this October. Send me your smock and masks people, I want all the Darth Vaders, Pink Panthers and (hopefully) Jaws costumes you can send me.

It's all part of the 2008 Halloween Countdown (http://waffyjon.blogspot.com/2008/08/last-post-about-halloween-countdown-for.html) challenge that I've joined, a whole month of Halloween from a while bunch of different bloggers.

Do you only want Ben Cooper type costumes? I only wore one once (Bionic Woman), and this was shortly after my sister died, so Mom didn't take any pics of me in it.

I know I have two pics: one of me in the Ben cooper godzilla costume and the other from the 1970s as the tinman. Will start looking for them

Here ya' go Mego Museum! This is me dressed as, you guessed it, JAWS! My sister is another fave of mine, The Bionic Woman. I have no idea what year this is but my guess would be 1978.
Use the pic freely as you wish!

Sadly, I don't think Mom ever took a single Halloween pic. We had costumes growing up, but I guess she never felt the need to record them for posterity. The only pics I have are of my daughter's Halloween costumes.

I just did a search .......
The only pic I can find of myself is pretty lousy.
Black and white polaroid from around 1968.
It's just me wearing a generic skull mask.
Not even worth sending in.

GREAT pic, Lou

CANDY-GRAM !!!!!!!!! :)

Is the focus only store-bought costumes or do you want to see homemade costumes as well?

Originally I just wanted the store bought kind but honestly the more the merrier.
