Happy Spooky Season, dear one! This week, in our Season 11 Finale, we are exploring a question that has been on my mind for quite some time. What is the history of Halloween costumes?! 🎃 👻 When October 1st hits, my FYP gets flooded with creepy vintage photographs of Halloween’s gone by. They are honestly nightmare fuel, and every time I see one, I wonder, "Why are they so gosh darn creepy?!" That question led me down a path of 2,000 years of costume history, and against my better judgment, some Victorian Halloween History. 

In this episode, we'll explore: 
👻 The history of Halloween costumes 
🫀 The origin of Halloween
🎃 Why vintage Halloween costumes are so creepy 
🧟 The evolution of the Halloween costume
💀 How seriously the Victorians took Halloween

So what are you waiting for?! Let's get our spooky on and learn all about Halloween history, and maybe you can get some Halloween historical costume inspiration
