Halloween Costumes Word Search
Halloween costumes used to be mostly homemade, built out of sheets, burnt cork and whatever hung in the closet. Mass produced masks and boxed outfits arrived in the 1930s and the catalog has grown every year since. Ghosts, witches, pirates and skeletons keep turning up no matter what else is popular.
