13 VINTAGE HALLOWEEN COUNTDOWN CUTIES!

Welp, it's time to show off some vintage pics of Halloween Cuties, just for you!!.. We would be remiss if we neglected to include such a cool post! Early Treat Time!!.. Here, Kitty, Kitty!

This is one of my favorites, great shadows make for some interesting spooky imagery!

We love Witches, some are very cute, like this gal. She's got her broom and big ol' punkins!

That's some interesting Halloween garb, she's holding her hat, surrounded by all her pals!

It's about pumpkins, they get ripe right around Halloween. Who in the Hell came up with carving scary/goofy faces into these big orange gourdes anyway?

This good Witch sits on her giant (not real) pumpkin, waiting for the Great Pumpkin to arrive.

Let us not forget Black Cats! Gots two of them myself, Boo and Moon! They cross my path many times every day, and, I only have a little bad luck!

This cute Witch is stirring her cauldron full of magical ingredients. M-m-m-m... Tasty!

Now, this is my kind of Witch, very sexy, showing us how she rides her broom on Halloween!

Here we have a very nice shot, love those cool bat wings she's showing off!

Wow, this pic is very trippy, you gotta love that freakin' spook's shadow! Watch out girl!!

This stylish Witch is just lounging on her big pumpkin with her feet on some dry corn stalks.

Very odd is what I'd say about this one. Those are some fairly weird monster heads there!

We'll end with this terrific shot of our pretty feline Witch posing on her huge pumpkin with the shadow of a hissing Black Cat at top... I love the use of shadows, an interesting way to approach the subject! So, we're back tomorrow with more Halloween Countdown, here, at The Dungeon!!

HALLOWEEN SAFETY - "Second Edition" (1985)

This is so important, I should probably have saved it for a Saturday Night Special presentation, but oh well, Wednesday will have to do, because...

Tonight's feature from 1985 is another Dungeon public service announcement, because you just can never be too careful, especially these days, so pay attention, and heed all these safety tips, and you'll have a much better chance of surviving Halloween!!

First rule, you don't have to be an evil clown to be weird!

This is a freaky deaky little group of kids!
That Casper costume is pretty dang strange in my opinion!!
Casper with hair, Extra weird!!
This is Jack O'Lantern, the host and narrator of the show!

Safety tips happen before you even leave the house!!

If you get slimy pumpkin guts on your hands, be extra careful with knives!
Now that's good advice!

This Mom is a little tweaked because she had to cut the eyeholes out into a slot so her son could see better and not be tripping! The people who made this film must have had a much bigger budget than us when we made "Silver Angel Vs. The Death Robots," because we didn't even have enough money for tin foil, and could only afford silver paint for our robot costumes!

This is a very weird composite transition photo of what can happen to you if you get caught in between dimensions! You gotta be careful, kids!!

Rule number four, Ditch your Mom! She's killing all the scary in your costume!!

In 1985, it was normal to take pictures of all the cute kids coming to your door!

Unfortunately times have changed! I tried this in 2015, and an overly protective Father that probably should have stayed home and drank a few more beers, wanted to kick my ass, and started yelling at me, "Are you taking pictures of my kid, ARE YOU TAKING PICTURES OF MY KID??" 
That about did it for me and trick or treaters!
DO NOT THROW EGGS!!!
This is seriously one of the most innocent but destructive behaviors you can do!
Mix eggs with tempura paint, and after it bakes on a wall, it will last 100's of years, literally!

Do not stomp on anybody's Jack O Lanterns! That's just downright rude! 
Only a Creep would do something like that!!

Here's some good nutritional advice!
Never eat anything bigger than your head, even if it's candy!

Are they coming for candy, or are they coming to get you! 
You can just never tell!

The final two tips for Halloween safety are fairly simple!
Once you get back home with all your free loot, make sure all the candy hasn't been tampered with, and be especially careful to make sure there are no razor blades, or LSD hidden inside!

AND.... if the candy looks to be over 15 or 20 years old, just toss it!
So, that's it, follow these few safety tips and have a much safer Halloween experience, or just go to the store and buy three dollars worth of candy, and stay home and watch a good scary movie instead, and leave all the trick or treating to the real weirdos! Yum!

A LOOK AT TRICK-OR-TREATING FROM THE PAST!

Let's have a look at some fun pics from the past, they deserve a little time here at The Dungeon Halloween Countdown!

I freakin' love this shot, looks like it's from the thirties. This has to be the golden age of trick-or-treating, great costumes and excitement you can cut wif' a rubber knife!.. Go, kids!!

Here, we have Popeye, Uncle Sam and a skeleton, can't go wrong with those! Also looks like the little kid in front is going as an OUR GANG buddy.

This photo looks like it's from the late fifties, early sixties. You've got spacemen, The Phantom, the devil, some whatzits and a bunny wabbit!

It's lots of fun on both sides of the door at this mad house!

Heaven forbid if there's not enough candy to go around for this horde of little monsters!

Here's a Halloween costume lineup at a high school gym, love the shock mask in front!

Boys are Little Devils!..

Boys are Little Monsters!!..

But, Girls are Little Witches!!!.. Eegah!! and I fall into the 'Monster' category.

I like these very weird costumes, the clothing is freakin' insane!!

This one reminds me of something me and Eegah!! might come up with just for the halibut, a deadly duo going door to door for free treats!

And, for all the poor kids, well, creativity can trump $$$!.. For just a measley 13 cents, you can come up with costumes for the whole danged family!

This photo's pretty funny, how pathetic! What a poor excuse for a robot, I feel sorry for the kid! Cute in an ironic way.

We would go to our elementary school's Halloween festival, this was one of the things we'd participate in. I swear, this is totally impossible to do!!

Then, like in the eighties, Halloween became a little more edgy!..

Let us not forget the adults, they like to dress up and go to Halloween events too!..

And, to top the whole thing off, here's a special pic of costume design gone off the tracks, Halloween or otherwise!.. Enjoy!

Check back Wednesday for more Halloween Countdown, here, at The Dungeon!!
