Even now my eyes water when I think about it.Good candy in those days though.

While that is totally in my time, I am happy that I could only recognize a few of them. I can only feel sorry for any designer that worked for days and finally sat back saying ‘it’s perfect!’.

My grandfather was a WW2 vet and brought home a lot of stuff, so I pretty much went as an ‘army guy’ for years.

There are so many “what the hell were they thinking” costumes on that sight, it’s a riot.

Some favorites: ‘Chachi’, ‘Boss Hogg’, ‘Chuck Barris’, ‘Mr Kotter’, ‘Asteroids’ (!), and possibly the most bizarre: ‘One of the Brady Bunch’, with red mask!?!?

I felt the same way about the pictures on the front, if they had to put a picture on it, what good was the costume.

It screams “My costume is so lame that I am otherwise unidentifiable without this visual aid on my chest.” 🙂
