It truly was a fun time to grow up back then as a kid, I really believe that we were blessed to have experienced those times 🤔
I'm so grateful I was a kid on Halloween in the 70's. My mom made me a witch costume and I couldn't wait to wear it
That was the good old days, when we used pillow cases for all the candy we got! 🎃
We were let loose by ourselves and didn't return til around midnight. We had no fear of anything. We could be kids.
I remember going to school on Halloween in the 70s. We could wear costumes, we had a parade and a whole bunch of treats. One of the best days of the year.
Oh boy, I remember those school parades! It was a all day event, and even the teachers dressed up. In 75 or 76, my mother made me the red and white six million dollar man outfit, and I was the envy of the school. If I could do just one Halloween over again, that would probably be the one.
I grew up in a large trailer park(it bordered two streets)outside Syracuse, so we were able to score a decent haul-including full-size candy bars-in relative safety. The only downside was the plastic masks that you could barely see or breathe through, and the elastic usually broke by the end of the night. I don’t recall any fear of poisoned candy; the real danger was kids getting hit by cars-it seemed that there was at least one every year.
We played a Disney album called, "Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of The Haunted House. Screams & Groans, and Fuses & Explosions were my favorite parts. We had a big iron caldrun with dry ice in it at the door, so the smoke would come down the sides and cover the walkway.
I remember going to the 5/10 dime store seeing what costumes they had. 60's and 70's were the best time. Not like now!
I was one of those kids trick or treating in the 70”s! It was still a magical time of innocent fun!✨
I loved being a 70s kid. I was born in 64,but by the 70s, I was old enough to be aware of things.
60s and early 70s we would get full size candy bars . And then they came out with the minis. We used pillow cases and they would get full. I remember we would go to a good neighborhood.
In the early 70s we were kinda poor. I WANTED one of those store bought costumes from K Mart, but it wasn't to be. First off, let me say, my mum was the greatest! She was such a wonderful mum! She was probably not more than 22 years old at this time- just a girl. My mum said she would create a costume for me. Not excited. So my mum comes in and informs me I'm to be a witch. She would put one of her skirts on me & a blouse, one of her wigs, put make up on me and she had a witches hat from some previous Halloween.
An unseasonably warm Halloween before there were curfew hours to trick or treating. 4 full pillowcase loads of candy in total. Had to return home to empty my pillowcase out each time!
I was a 70s kid. Back in those days, Halloween shopping at Kmart was so exciting. 🎃💀👹👽
I’m 54. One of my memories of trick or treating back in the ‘70’s here in KC Missouri is one year, when the weather turned extremely poor on halloween. I’m talking heavy, cold rain, and my 2 sisters and I STILL went out to trick or treating, and the neighbors STILL played along and passed out candy. As a matter of fact, we learned early on, the colder and nastier the weather, the better the candy haul.
Remember being in high school in the early 70s and taking my boyfriend's little brother and sister trick or treating. So much fun!!! 🎃
I always loved grouping all the candies I've collected. Kids today must be so bored since everyone buys the same Costco candy bags. In the 70s, there were so many types of candy.
My “last” Halloween was in 1970 when I made, and wore, a Barnabas Collins costume. Worked on it for weeks!
This brings back so many memories. Those plastic masks were awful!!
