1.0 out of 5 stars less a history, more of a photo essay.
if you want a coffee table book of people wearing bedraggled, ugly, poorly made "vintage" halloween costumes, this books for you. if youre looking for a history of halloween costumes and masquerade in america, look elsewhere. in the authors mind, the photos were more important than the costumes themselves.

This review is from: Dressed for Thrills: 100 Years of Halloween Costumes and Masquerade (Hardcover)
I actually borrowed this book from the library as part of research on a project. I loved it so much i went on Amazon before i had to return it. Its the perfect reference book for vintage costumes. The photography is beautiful and some of the costumes are just inspiring.

4.0 out of 5 stars Of Halloweens long ago...., June 25, 2009
This review is from: Dressed for Thrills: 100 Years of Halloween Costumes and Masquerade (Hardcover)
This book is a great look back at some vintage Halloween costumes. They range from late 1800s to early 1980s with more focus being on the pre-1960s eras. The reason is that the photographer collects vintage Halloween costumes from around the country. Creating both a collection and a history of Halloween in America.

The photography is very well done and the photographer even talks about the methods used which is a very interesting way to make the photos unique and almost come alive.

A must see for Halloween devotees interested in costume styles from yesteryear.
