Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Flavorwire has a nice gallery of historical Halloween costumes, which, by their very nature are much creepier than any contemporary costume could ever hope to be.
"We scoured the web for the wildest, weirdest costumes of yesteryear, and came up with everything from toadstools to telephones - and one guy in 'fancy dress as a side of bacon.'"
If you're hoping to find inspiration for this year's outfit though, you're bang out of luck. Evidently, the revellers of yesteryear had a lot more time on their hands and a lot more access to to high-quality natural fabrics. Special mention to the group of children with burlap sacks on their faces. Low effort, but very, very scary.
