BOO! ~ A Halloween Market

Last weekend, fresh from buying two metal Halloween sculptures, crafted from recycled oil drums, from a store that I'll detail in a future post, I accompanied my wife to two Halloween stores. One was a pop-up that occupies the past residence of a bankrupt company, the second was Spirit, which is open year-round for your costume needs.

While we were ostensibly on the look-out for a spider costume for one of our dogs, we looked up and down every aisle. And, while I did pause to examine all the sexy nurse/nun/beer frau/cop...costume, I only took pictures of the creepy stuff.

So, posted for #MarketFriday, hosted by @dswigle, here are some costume ideas for Halloween:

Creepy clowns are always big, more so this year with It Two out at theaters. There were several large displays of animated clowns playing tug of war with a baby or holding a child in a cage, but somehow I ended up just shooting mostly masks, although I did photograph a life-size Pennywise:

He's a closer than you think...boo!

This next one reminds me of a cross between the Easter Bunny and Frank from Donnie Darko:

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I think this next one is Pugsley from the new Addams Family movie:

And, to finish off, a smiling baby. I hope you enjoyed this Halloween edition of #MarketFriday.
