Maybe Halloween was more eerie then, maybe the past inspires some sort of uncanny nostalgia within, or maybe black-and-white photos just make Halloween costumes super-sinister. Whatever it is, these photos contain the creepiest Halloween images we've ever seen—and they were all taken between 1890 and 1940. Readers beware!!!
1. Creepy Halloween critters
Aardvarks? Rats? Foxes? Other?
2. Fortune telling animals
I think my future would look pretty bleak if I were to step into a fortune-telling booth with these
3. Dolly girl
I'm not sure whether this is a child playing mother or a mother playing child. Either way, it's creepy.
4. Penny for your soul?
Maybe our ancestors didn't get dressed up as anything specific. And to be honest, they might be onto something—simply putting a hessian bag over ones head is scary enough!
5. Chunky ghost
Back to the hesium bag thing, it's a common horror-film motif for a reason!
6. Chicken man
The only thing that would make this image any weirder would be a massive grin spread across his face.
7. Trick or treat?
Neither! Just go away! Please!
8. The not-so-merry pranksters
I've never liked clowns....
9. Marshmallow man? Is that you?
It was too early for Ghostbusters. My second guess is the Michelin Man. Maybe we'll never know.
10. Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Your guess is as good as mine...
11. M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E
Something's gone seriously wrong at the Mickey Mouse Club
12. Eye'm watching you...
13... So are we
