Vintage Halloween Photos Are More Disturbing Than Modern Horror Movies, So We Recreated Some (27 Pics)
All things vintage make my inner child happy. Combine that with some old school vintage Halloween masks and I’m in squealing inner child heaven.
Whenever I see vintage images of children wearing papier-mache masks in the past, that they most certainly made at home, I wonder if they knew how long they’d be terrifying the future. Every one of them is 100% more terrifying than the top 10 horror movies trending on Netflix. That’s my jam.
So my sister and I decided to make some of our own. Combined with some store-bought masks, I photographed her to recreate some vintage-inspired Halloween horror pics, inspired by smiling kids of the past.

I cought myself scrolling s.l.o.w.l.y down..Fearing that the next picture would be worse than the one I watched....This was really disturbing and outright scary...Thanks...Wow!!
Those pictures would be great to use in the mrs. peregrine series Has anyone else read those? They’re so good!
These are way scarier than most of the things in modern horror films! Great job!
Thanks for these fantastic recreations of old Halloween costumes. I love stuff like this. You two did a wonderful job on all of these!
I have that first mask and another like it... me and my boyfriend both wore them in the woods to spook people (and take pictures) last halloween! Very fun haha hard to breathe in them though!
Loved it! Amazing masks / body postures and the whole Victorian, oldish B&W style photography was a great choice. Well done kind friend!
the last one reminds me of barrel from the nightmare before Christmas :)
These are beautiful but they're modern- all are stamped with the Enchanted Eye Creations label
You might want to read the text more closely explaining what these are.
