Beatles Halloween


Here is a worn-out vintage photo of two "Beatles" for Halloween.

Can you believe that this costume (who I think is either George or Paul) is a rare collector's item these days?





And yes...you could even dress as a Blue Meanie in '68! This is a very frightening costume!!

Well Halloween night is coming to an end here in my part of the United States. Such a strange tradition it is to dress up and knock on strangers door and beg for candy. But it is a fun time. I enjoyed handing out candy to the kids that came to my door, most of which were current or former students of mine. I did not see any Beatle related costumes. But in the 1960's some Beatle fans were actually dressing up in Beatles gear. Check out these costumes!

  1. Very interesting! I remember my neighbor was a Beatle for Halloween one year (probably 1966 or 1967) But her costume was homemade, and much nicer than this scary store bought one! She simply wore a Beatle wig with a black, turtle neck sweater, tight, black trousers, and Beatle boots. And she carried a Beatle guitar with a pink bow tied around the neck!

  2. cyeaiky: That sounds a LOT nicer than these ones here. I saw an adorable child dressed as Ringo from Yellow Submarine for Halloween online recently.
