Part 2 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. The photos from this collection are from Halloweens 2010, 2011 and maybe one from 2014.
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.
Viewers are welcome to chime in and offer correct names for these Halloweeners, as we prefer to make you guess. After all, it's trick-or-treat night in Bluffton.
And, our standing invitation: if you have a past Halloween photo to share, please send it to: [email protected].
Click here for part 1 in this series. And, below we present 13 unlucky photos.
