“I was working in the lab late one night when my eyes beheld an eerie sight... ”
- From Monster Mash by Bobby "Boris" Pickett

Part 1 of a 2-part series: The Icon was working in the lab late last night and discovered a trove of Halloween photos many would like to forget. Some two decades old, some more recent, and some, well, it’s your guess.
Since this is a covid-19 year, there's mixed-signals about answering the door, or ringing the doorbell. In honor of those who choose to skip this year's festivities, we present these ghostly views from Halloween’s past as a reminder of how Bluffton gets dressed up to go to a party.
Some photos are identified, somewhat. Viewers are welcome to chime in and offer correct names for these Halloweeners.
And, our standing invitation: if you have a past Halloween photo to share, please send it to: [email protected].
Watch for part 2 in this series tomorrow.
