How Halloween Used To Be!

1. Anyone remember the coffin piggybank where a skeletal arm would emerge to drag your coin inside? I loved that. Greetings from South Africa.

2. I remember having a small Halloween party at my apartment on the 1st floor hallway I was 6 or 7 years old I was my little pony I had one of those plastic masks as well in the late 1980s

3. I had the gene Simmons plastic suit n mask in the box.those we're so kool

4. I don't know if this was just around my neighborhood or not but I think the worst thing to get trick or treating in the 80's was pennies. Candy corn was pretty lame also. Yuck!

5. My last year was 1974, my costume was a coat with a pillow in the back and a belt.

6. I always used the pillow case (1970s) kids ran wild back and forth in all directions hitting every house with lights on. I live in that same neighborhood today, it's full of kids but we barely get 7 knocks on the door. I don't know what happened?

7. I actually had the Frankenstein and Chuck Norris Halloween costumes. I grew up in the 80s. An awesome time to be a kid.😂

8. I have a bunch of photos taken around 1966-1970-ish of trick or treaters from when my grandparents and mom lived in Virginia. My mom said the kids used to come inside the peoples houses, usually the foyer or front sitting room, so they could have their pics taken in their costumes and to get the candy. Imagine that today? Random people offering your kids candy if they come inside their house to have their picture taken… omg lol .. But it’s also kinda weird to think I have pictures of strangers that are now between 65 and 70 yrs old , as children. Never gonna be able to figure out who they are as they’re all in costumes haha 😂😂😂

9. Really miss those days of being a child of the 70's..

10. Amazing how accurate you are..wow

11. I had 5 brothers and 1 sister
    Our parents could not buy costumes for all of us so we made up our own costumes from what we could find around the house or borrow. We had to get creative and we really did have fun making our own costumes and some were quite good.

12. I remember when halloween night was going to be particularly cod, my mom would insist that I wear my coat, to which I would respond "but then no one can see my costume" Then she would say "No coat no trick or treating" so I would grudginly don my winter coat over my costume and curse the world for its injustice

13. iam 58, first halloween i was the ghost used a white sheet scooby-doo. second year. candy horror movies. life was great

14. Don't forget the Unicef boxes

15. @5:58 Mikey from the cereal commercial head exploded with a combo os Pop Rocks and Pepsi is the legend. @6:40 I made a Tusken Radier costume. hard to describe how. @6:52 Smashing Pumpkins. I put up a home made Yard Haunt display ^v^

16. Omg I had that cut out paper witch!! Those costumes were the best!!

17. I swear for a second I thought this videos thumbnail was of my mom and uncles. 🤣🤣 they have a similar picture like this

18. We always had homemade costumes. When my brother was in first grade, everyone was dressed as He-Man, with plastic store-bought chest straps and red sports shorts with the white stripe down the side, but my brother won the costume contest at school with his faux-fur shorts and pleather chest straps my mom made him. It doesn’t take that much more effort to make a costume like that.

19. I have over 50 Ben Cooper costumes in their OG boxes on display in my retro room and my bathroom…(Collegeville here and there also)

20. I don't think it's a fear of tampered candy that put an end to my fav holiday growing up.

21. Those were great times, especially TV dinners!!

22. Kid back in the '90s I remember going to trick or treating at convenience stores and at the mall and the haunted houses in the Halloween festivals at the town where I grew up

23. 🦇. LuV-V Halloween…. Even as an adult…. I get dressed up and go to much more lavish Halloween parties and events a few times in October….. 🩸

24. I’m really digging the channel. My mom told me a story, when I was so mad that another kid had the same Frankenstein costume as me. So stupid 😄

25. I remember hearing about the “rich” houses with full size candy bars 😂 and the razor blade
    /tampered candy story growing up

26. Well as I grew up we my sibs and I would get multiple pillow cases worth of candy that was sorted removed cause of possibly threats now we have structured trick or treating and safe Halloween cause of people that think drugging and putting harmful stuff in candy is such a " great prank" it is THAT which is destroying trick or treating eventually it will be ONLY safe structured Halloween forever it makes me sad when s kid is air lifted to the hospital or someone is arrested for s a do called ," prank"

27. BRAVO SIR!!! Well done! This is an excellent video. One of the best I've seen in a loooong time. 🙂 AWESOME WELL DONE

28. Some kids got fruit or money! whats up with that?

29. I remember having pajama costumes once or twice a costume you could sleep in?! really!? Wow!

30. In the 60s 70s trick or treating we could go by ourselves and people could be trusted to give you home made treats. And we used to bring tons of candy to school the next day and trade with your classmates and eat candy all day at school and have the most excellent sugar rush..

31. Love you videos 😍😍😍 so on point!!!

32. those box masked costumes was EVERYTHING

33. I just remember that one Halloween back in 93 where we'd blown a breaker in the house and it was kind of funny seeing the flashlights through the windows as my sister took me out to trick or treat, lol

34. This is how it was for me when i trick or treated in the early 80s. The atmosphere was so different back then compared to now. It was like a giant neighborhood party that everybody participated in. Now barely anyone does anything. You gotta find one good neighborhood in town and everyone takes their kids there.

35. im from the 90s loved trick or treating back in the day those memories are so sweet to me 🙂

36. We were lucky to have grown up at a time where it was still ok to have fun!

37. I remember when I was dressed up as either Batman or Davy Crockett as a kid back in the 90's for trick-or-treating, boy those days are long past!

38. My brother & I would Trick or Treat as long as we could. Almost every year Mom would send Dad out in the car to find us because we would stay out so late. It was all business on Halloween because Moms back then didn't keep candy or sugary items in the house. Only popsicles in the summer. It was our one chance to load up.

39. OMG I remember those masks! You'd sweat so bad! But the candy was worth it

40. I totally scored on the candy. I had a big pillow case full of it. I remember my first Halloween being dressed as a pirate and my last as a "terrorist", or at least how I conceived of what one should look like.
