And maybe some wax lips.

Until you hit the motherloade house and got the candy cigarettes


And poke a hole in the wax lips for the candy cig.

From the 80s …I had a Hulk , Dukes of Hazzard, G.I.Joe, Transformer, and He-man costume.

My very last one like that was no major brand … and was weird. It was satan … the mask was very crazy and the plastic suit had Satan with fire written on it.

My Grandmother burned it that night after Trick or treating.. in the back yard . So I wouldn’t go to hell I suppose lol

The shite I did for candy back then.
Those costumes were miserable.

Yes indeed ! I went as Charlie Brown in one of those plastic masks and hot AF trash bag outfits we had. I would go back in a heartbeat though, great times !

All of my “rich” friends had those. I had two choices; bed sheet ghost or football player since I had the uniform.

My breathing just increased from looking at that photo.

Remember the relief you got from lifting the mask up? The cool air hitting your sweating face and the abundance of oxygen your body received.

I had an Inspector Gadget one. Had pants and a top. Thick plastic and the mask had a thin white rubber band that pierced against my head.

Am I the only one who hated that damned rubber band on the mask and how it would pull the crap out of your hair?

I completely blocked that out until you said it. And it would snap against your ears.
