Halloweens From Years Past


Much of the love that adults have for Halloween is due to nostalgia for the Halloweens of our youth. We remember the fun times we had running around in our costumes and getting our favorite candy from family, friends, and neighbors. That's where today's post comes in.

Here are a few homemade family films of Halloweens gone by. They are sure to take you back to your own Halloween experiences as a child, even if you grew up in a different era than the ones depicted here.

First up, a fun family Halloween gathering from 1977. That ghost is sure giving it his all in the role!



From the same year, this footage was taken at an elementary school.



And the same school three years later in 1980.



I love these! They truly represent what it is we love so much about Halloween. You can enjoy more of these at my article from last year.

Tomorrow--is it! Halloween 2017! Be there or be scared!

Cool that these are preserved for eternity. Time flies, whether looking back at these, or just this month. Gets away from us so fast.

That's great - I remember when our grade school would have the Halloween parade. The kindergarten always got to go first since they had a short day. We had a parade, a party with games and candy! I remember walking home and trick or treating all the way. Nobody had hours back in 1970's. Then we'd have dinner and go again in the evening. *Sigh* - I'll be lucky if I get 9 trick or treaters tomorrow night.
