49. Plastic Children’s Masks Were Haunting
Nowadays, plastic masks are a dime a dozen, and plenty of kids wear them whenever they feel like playing pretend. However, when these plastic masks came out in the 1970s, they weren’t particularly kid-friendly. You might expect to see a well-dressed person sporting one of these freakishly creepy Halloween masks today on a music video for a song that is deemed to be explicit. Even just looking at this photo, which allows us to step back in time to the 1970s, gives us the shivers. Indeed no child wanted to wear this monstrosity on Halloween, just slasher-type teens and adults who tried to steal candy.
