This week's 52 Weeks of Photos sharing theme: Halloween
To participate, simply:
The photo you share might be featured on the WikiTree home page and in our social media channels.
If you use a social network (Facebook, Instagram, etc.) you might want to share your photo there as well. This can be a great way to involve more family members. Many people love seeing old family photos. Be sure to add #52weeksofphotos and #wikitree to your post.
It is requested that no "best answer" stars be given to any photo, as they are all great pictures without exception and none should be preferred over the other.
Scary Ghost! He could be outside your window this Halloween.
Yes, that would horrify me, Joyce!
Karen, I don't have Photo Shop. I have a program called Photos which came with my computer. It allows me to adjust the light and the color, and to crop. It is easy to use and it is very useful for brightening up newspaper photos. You may have something similar. . . Here's the original picture. Even in daylight, he's pretty scary.
Karen, maybe this link will help.
If you post an answer to the weekly photo challenge, and say something like "my photo is on the free space. How do I get it here?" someone may be able to help you. The picture of the guy in the gas mask is truly scary!
This is a photo taken on Halloween 1979. My daughter is dressed as a witch, and my son is dressed as a Star Wars Jawa. They are on their way out the door to Trick or Treat at our neighbors' homes.
Joyce, I hope you noticed the great Edith Head video you sent me is on her profile. I watched it again, and the costumes are fabulous. Thank you for sending it.
Dad took this image of Trick-or-Treaters visiting our apartment in 1953. I didn't go out for Halloween as I was too young at the time. But I do remember the "Bedsheet Ghosts" wandering our suburb later in the '50s. It was a cheap costume for big families. Most sheets were white and flat. An old one with eyes cut out, or in this case, sheet draped around a masked face, was a way to have fun making weird noises and filling a bag with free candy. Sometimes there were homemade treats like caramel apples, iced cookies and donuts. The leaves still on their branches, rustled in the breeze and the scent of burning leaves that had fallen filled the air. Halloween was an adventure.
Thank you, Karen. Yes, I was a writer with published work. I added some memories to a free space on WikiTree.
Thank you, Karen
Just when my bag of tricks almost ran out, Kathy reached into her phone and thrust it towards me.....done blowed me away. Here we have our daughter's brother-in-law......a movie stuntman who makes his own costumes.
Medium-sized tricksters, John, please. I did a witch costume at the door one year and the little ones went screaming across the lawn.
I got the opportunity to play Jekyll/Hyde in 2006 for Nevada Civic Light Opera's production of Jekyll and Hyde at the historic Piper's Opera House (which is said to be haunted) in Virginia City, NV. Also wore the costume for a Halloween party.
This photo was sent to me 2 years ago by my cousin Lesley's Grand-daughter. Her husband, TJ who is a chef had demonstrated how to make them on an online show in Canada.
