Happy Halloween, Oiche Samhain, Day of the Dead
Trick or Treat? Weren't costumes we made ourselves much more eerie and wonderful than contempory shop bought Superman and Dracula outfits? A sheet with two holes for the eyes was a much used last minute ghost costume in my childhood - go on, you'll be grand, of course you look scary! Glad there's no photographic evidence:) On second thoughts, maybe they're better to look back upon than actually wear!
These old photographs of children in homemade Halloween costumes came from a site called Babble: Here . The images there would also make great writing prompts.
Completely unrelated, and not at all spooky - Stinging Fly Literary Magazine have changed their submission guidelines....
So happy trick/treating/writing/submitting!
