Halloween in the Early 1900s
Halloween has become super mainstream in the 21st century, but back in the early 1900s, kids made their costumes out of anything they could find. They were very creative, too, which is evident from this photo of these three kids wearing homemade masks. They’re actually a lot creepier than a lot of the plastic and latex masks that are available in party stores today. But in those days, kids didn’t get candies from their neighbors. They would get things like apples and roasted peanuts.
