Candy corn cupcakes instructions: You will need: chocolate cupcakes and prepared cake frosting in white, orange, and yellow. Carefully slice the top center area off of each cupcake and set aside and then carve out a cone shaped cavity in the center of the cupcake. Fill the cupcakes with a dollop each of frosting in this order: first white, then orange, and last yellow. Replace the top slice of the cupcake. Decorate as desired.

Vintage Childhood Halloween Costumes from the 70's

Vintage childhood Halloween costumes from the 1970's were the best. The boxed character costumes, the dress-up school parties, trick or treat in the neighborhood...what could be more fun? Oh yeah, the candy!

Nowadays with kids of my own, the rules sure have changed. No masks, or even face makeup are allowed at school past the elementary level. But outside of school and of course on Trick or Treat night in hometowns across the USA, ghouls abound.

I remember the plastic masks with the dayglo painted faces, the small slits in the plastic for eye, nose and mouth holes, and how your breath behind the mask would condensate, making your face damp and gross. I remember the stapled-on elastic string that never stayed on very long before breaking.

But most of all I remember the thrill of dressing up, of laughing with friends, of going house to house in the cold autumn night, and getting to escape and be something different - whether scary or not - even if just for a short while.

Take a step back in time with these amazing vintage Halloween photos from the 70's (and a few from the 60's and 80's too!)

A classic lineup!

Looks like a party!

It's that time of year again! I love Halloween! And I love checking out all the unique and unusual costumes and clever Halloween makeup that people come up with each year.

My Halloween costume round up from last year (which you can visit here (part 1) and here (part 2) if you haven't seen it) was so popular that I had to do another one this year.

Now let's take a look at the creepiest Halloween costume makeup and Halloween costumes ever!
